[edit] Location

The station is located in northern Bogotá, specifically on Autopista Norte with Calle 136.

It serves the Chicó and Polo Club neighborhoods, as well as the commercial areas on Calle 90 and part of the Zona Rosa area. It's the closest one to the infamous "Parque de la 93"

[edit] History

After the opening of the Portal de Usme in early 2001, the Autopista Norte line was opened. This station was added as a northerly expansion of that line, which was completed with the opening of the Portal del Norte later that year.

The station is named Virrey due to its proximity to Parque El Virrey, a greenway and bike path that follow Calle 88 from Avenida 7a to Autopista Norte.
