The Government of Jalisco has awarded the tender for the construction of Guadalajara Line 4 of the Light Rail to Tlajomulco de Zúñiga in Mexico to the Mota-Engil Mexico Consortium.

The consortium composed of Mota-Engil Mexico SAPI and Consorcio Tren Ligero Línea 4 Guadalajara SAPI will provide 55% of the financing. The consortium was the only one who presented the economic proposal for the national tender LPN-02/2022-CEAP-SITEUR-L4 and therefore was declared as a winner to carry out the project. In the next 20 days, the consortium must sign the contract.

The project will be undertaken through a long-term public-private partnership (PPP). The  Line 4 Light Rail involves the development of a 21-km ground-level railroad that connects downtown Guadalajara with the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuñiga. The line will have 8 stations with a connection with Line 1 and with the Mi Macro Periferico bus system. The estimated construction time is 22 months, and the project is expected to be finalized in 2024.
