Background

In 2011, the Brazilian Ministry of Works announced that construction on the line would begin that year for a 2014 opening.[1] The line would feature an existing 23 kilometres (14 mi) suburban rail alignment in Niterói, São Gonçalo and Itaboraí being upgraded to metro standard, and a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) tunnel under Guanabara Bay to Rio de Janeiro.
