The Madrid regional government has awarded the lengthening of line 2 of the Metro from La Elipa to Las Rosas to FCC Construcción in a temporary joint venture with Acciona with a schedule of 27 months and a budget of €157 million.

This will be a new underground section 4 .5 km long with four new Metro stations to benefit 65,000 persons.

The route will start in the Bilbao district where the first session will be located facilitating access to the Almudena cemetery. From there the tunnel will continue under Nicolás Salmerón Street until it reaches the second station, then travelling Avenida de Guadalajara to the third station at the crossover between Avenida de Canillejas and Vicálvaro and finally crossing the M40 to reach the Paseo de Ginebra, where the fourth station will be located.

All the stations will have 90 m long platforms with access for the disabled.
