Aragón is an at-grade metro station situated on the median strip of Avenida Río Consulado, in the limits of Gustavo A. Madero and Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City.[2][3]

It serves the colonias (neighborhoods) of Casas Alemán, in Gustavo A. Madero, and Simón Bolívar, in Venustiano Carranza. The station's pictogram features a squirrel, symbolizing its proximity to the San Juan de Aragón Park [es] public park and zoo, as it was the closest station to the park when it opened.[2][4] The Bosque de Aragón metro station later replaced this function.[5]

Aragón metro station has two exits that lead to Avenida Río Consulado. The northern exit is at the corner of Calle Dólares, in Colonia Casas Alemán and the southern one is at the corner of Calle Peniques, in Colonia Simón Bolívar. Within the system, the station lies between Eduardo Molina and Oceanía.[2] Route 20-B of the city's public bus system and Route 200 of the Red de Transporte de Pasajeros network service the area.[6][7]

History and construction

[edit]

Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA.[8] Its first section, where Aragón station is located, was opened on 19 December 1981, running from Pantitlán to Consulado metro stations.[9] The section between Aragón and Oceanía stations has a slope caused by subsidence.[10] This interstation is 1,219 meters (3,999 ft) long.[11] The opposite sections toward Eduardo Molina measures 860 meters (2,820 ft).[11]

Incidents

[edit]

Aragón metro station was temporarily closed for repairs after the 2015 Oceanía metro station train crash.[12] From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[13][14]
