Chile postpones Melitrén rail section, minister cites low demand for Central Station

Chile's Public Works Minister Louis de Grange confirmed the postponement of the Melitrén section of the Melipilla-Santiago Train project after the tender was declared deserted, citing that most passengers do not have Estación Central as their destination. The move signals a shift in project scope, with urgent work now focused on the remaining section. This is a notable infrastructure policy adjustment, though its market impact is limited.
