The line will cost an estimated US$830 million. A tunnel needs to be dug under the Ozama River to link the existing line at with the Av. Venezuela and San Vicente de Paul intersection, at the entrance to Los Tres Brazos. Opret spokesman, engineer Leonel Carrasco said that an overpass would be built at San Vicente de Paul Avenue over the Av. Arturo Fernando de Navarrete to decongest traffic in Los Mina.
