After being closed since September, the Uruguay station of line B of the Buenos Aires subway will reopen this Wednesday, completely renovated to evoke the historical and contemporary theater life of the area. Passengers have begun to notice the bright ambiance of the station, which feels like a grand marquee lighting up the station’s atmosphere even before the trains come to a halt there.

The renovation project, led by Subterráneos de Buenos Aires (SBASE), included the installation of over 4,000 LED light bulbs, a detail that captures the attention of many. This initiative is part of a broader effort to rejuvenate various subway stations and represents a tribute to the iconic Corrientes Street and its golden age of theater. The enhancements include new curtains, seating, marquee-style lighting, and chandeliers, contributing to a thematic homage to the cultural history of Buenos Aires.

To safeguard the new installations, SBASE has put measures in place to prevent theft of the LED bulbs, recognizing the potential risk as many stations have faced similar issues in the past. This reopening and renovation is not just about aesthetics; it aims to enhance the overall travel experience of commuters while celebrating Buenos Aires' rich artistic heritage.
