History

The station was predicted to open until the end of the second semester of 2017. But, on 27 December 2017, the State Government of São Paulo delayed the opening to January 2018, because the Secretariat of Metropolitan Transports reported that there were glasses that needed to be installed, which caused a fine to the responsible consortium by the construction in R$ 17 million (US$ 4,652,690.35) because of the delay. Therefore, the station would be delivered with the delay of almost four years, as in the first predictions it was scheduled to open in mid-2014.[4] On 19 January 2018, it was announced the official opening date: 23 January 2018.[5][6] On the Line 6-Orange, the predicted opening date is end of 2021.[7] When it's totally concluded in both lines, the station will be the deepest of all Latin America, being at 69 m (226 ft) from the surface, corresponding to a 14-floors building.[8][9]
