Manaus Monorail (Portuguese: Monotrilho de Manaus) is a 20 kilometres (12 mi) straddle monorail planned for construction in the Brazilian city of Manaus. In February 2012, the Infrastructure Secretariat of Amazonas signed a contract with a consortium of CR Almedia, Mendes Junior, Serveng and Malaysian rail company Scomi Rail for the construction of the monorail.[1] As of 2018[update], construction has yet to begin.[2]

History

Announced in August 2011, the line would run from Largo da Matriz to Jorge Teixeira, serving nine stations. It is designed to carry up to 35 000 passengers/h per direction. Completion was scheduled for 2014, though it has been delayed. Scomi Rail will supply 10 six-car SUTRA trainsets and depot equipment, as well as track switches, a maintenance vehicle, system integration and project management.[3]
