Poá is a train station on CPTM Line 11-Coral, located in the city of Poá.
History
[edit]With the opening of North Railway in mid-1875, supply posts were created between the stations. One of them was in Poá, then district of Mogi das Cruzes. Only on 1 March 1891 a new building was constructed and the post was promoted to station. With Poá growth, the station existing there was expanded in the 1920s.[1]
The construction of the current station started in 1985 by CBTU. Harmed by financial problems, the building of the new building were concluded only in 1989.
On 1 June 1994, CBTU stations and lines were transferred to CPTM. Since them, the station belongs to this company.
Project
[edit]On 29 January 2005, CPTM launched the concurrence no. 8379402011, aiming the modernization/reconstruction of 12 stations divided in 6 allotments of 2 station. Poá station is part of Allotment no. 6, along with Itapevi station. On 18 March 2005, the final result was published, being ratified the Sondotecnica/Urbaniza consortium by the cost of 1,056,808 BRL (631,749.06 USD). The project was presented to the public in June 2007, during public hearings for the construction hiring.[2]
The modernization work of Poá station was hired only in 2011, through bidding notice no. 8419110011 launched on 1 November 2011. The final result, as published on 6 March 2012, was that it was won by the Pedra Coral consortium, who bid 16,158,333.13 BRL (8,273,305.42 USD).[3]
After delays, the reformed station was delivered on 30 August 2016, at final cost of 20,189,267.15 BRL (10,337,203.23 USD), above previously budgeted.[4]
