Paseo de las Delicias Reopening in Madrid After Metro Line 11 Expansion

**Madrid's Paseo de las Delicias to Partially Reopen After Metro Line Extension** Madrid, Spain – After a nine-month closure due to the expansion of Metro line 11, the Paseo de las Delicias and adjacent streets are preparing to reopen to traffic. The reopening, set for June 1st, marks a significant milestone in the project that will connect Plaza Eliptica with Conde de Casal. The Paseo de las Delicias will reopen partially, with three of its original five lanes restored, including those for buses and taxis. This will ease traffic congestion in the area. Adjacent streets, Palos de la Frontera and Áncora, will fully reopen to vehicular traffic. A spokesperson for the project stated, "We are pleased to announce the partial reopening of Paseo de las Delicias. This is a major step forward in completing the line 11 extension and improving the mobility and quality of life for local residents." The project has involved extensive excavation work, with one official describing it as a "pharaonic work done in record time." Despite the inconvenience caused by the construction, the completed extension will significantly improve transportation in the city. Businesses affected by the closures can apply for aid of up to €5,000. By the end of June, the Delicias area is expected to return to normal, marking a successful completion of this major infrastructure project.
