San Salvador Metrocable
Zacamil–Historic Center, San Salvador
The country's first cable-transit system: engineer of record for 22 towers, stations, and civil works across a 3.55 km route.
The country's first mass-transit cable system—and the largest of its kind in the region. The Metrocable will connect Zacamil in Mejicanos to the Historic Center of San Salvador: a 3.55 km route, 22 support towers with 10 piles each, 153 cabins with 12-passenger capacity, and a throughput of 7,000 passengers per hour in both directions. A journey that currently takes up to an hour and fifteen minutes will be cut to 14 minutes. Narváez Hinds is the engineer of record for all of the infrastructure—towers, stations, and civil works—for the Ministry of Public Works. The cabin system is supplied by POMA, a French firm with metrocable experience across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
