The line will start at La Malagueta, which is also the start point for Lines 1 and 2, to reach El Palo, running below ground in 5.47 km of tunnel with stations in Sancha, Sorolla, Banos del Carmen, Pedregalejo, Mercado and El Palo. The design study will determine the exact alignment and its technical characteristics as well as the tunnelling method, either cut-and-cover or TBM, and what TBM type will be used if eventually the project is TBM-driven. The study will also specify the connecting areas and analyse the possible interactions of tunnelling on surrounding buildings. The JV will also elaborate a geotechnical study.
