Nearby are Serafina Park, the Suramérica and Florentino González schools, the Divino Niño Parish, and the SuperCADE 20 de Julio.
Origin of the name
The Portal 20 de Julio gets its name from being the head station of the Line L (Carrera Décima) of TransMilenio, and of the Veinte de Julio neighborhood.
History
This station is part of Phase III of TransMilenio, which began construction in late 2009 and was put into service along with the Carrera Décima trunk line in September 2012.
It was developed on a site that formerly housed the Moore pipe factory.[1]
The station has two platforms for the system's buses, an access building, an administrative building, and a fairground consisting of a basement, two floors, and a plaza. In addition, a bus depot with capacity for 56 articulated buses and 126 bi-articulated buses was built, along with a bicycle parking facility with space for 256 bicycles.
In October 2023, construction began on the TransMiCable, whose central station will be located within the Portal 20 de Julio. It will feature a new platform to allow connection between the TransMilenio system and the cable car line. [2]
