During the cut, the Eugenia de Montijo, Carabanchel and Vista Alegre stops will remain closed, while the Aluche station will allow transfers to Campamento and the Oporto station will continue to be enabled to take line 5 in the direction of Alameda de Osuna and also line 6, which will operate normally.
Metro de Madrid has announced that it will enable a special free bus service that will cover the cut section during the works period, although for the time being it has not detailed timetables or frequencies.
As for the rest of the alternatives for travelers with a destination in these places, it is possible to use lines 17 and 35 of the Municipal Transport Company (EMT) that reach the areas with the stations closed for the two weeks of works.
As for the underground connections by rail, travelers who usually use the green line to get to Aluche can alternatively use line 10 to Casa de Campo and there hook up the section of line 5 that will continue to work to reach the aforementioned station. . It is also possible to use the Cercanías, using the C-5 from the nearby stations of Embajadores or Laguna.

Works to secure the roads
The works announced by Metro de Madrid are centered between the Carabanchel and Vista Alegre stations, where the ground under the track will be consolidated and strengthened. A support system with plates will also be installed on a reinforced slab on the track platform.
The works are undertaken without further notice because the need for reinforcement in this area has been detected after several inspections. In total, the works will have an estimated cost of 800,000 euros.
