Excavations have started for the Santo Domingo Metro's Centro de los Heroes station, including the removal of all tubing and debris that will allow work on the tunnel to begin soon. The mine-type tunnel will be 12 meters deep in this area and will then join a trench type tunnel running eastwards. This station will also be deep and will be two stories high with a mezzanine and four exits, one at the Lottery building, another near the CDEEE parking area, another on Independencia Avenue, and the last near the National Congress. This will be the largest of the 16 stations on the first line of the Metro system.
The obelisk in the area was demolished for the construction of the station, used to be located. Because of the disruptions caused by the excavations, all traffic is being re-routed.
