Overview
- The new elevated structure opened to traffic Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. for vehicles traveling from bulevar Kukulcán toward Cancún International Airport.
- Officials said the distributor will send drivers headed to downtown Cancún onto the Puente Nichupté while the opposite direction on the new elevated road will open in the coming weeks.
- Local traffic changes are already in effect: the Kukulcán return by Hospital La Joya is closed to general traffic and the airport‑to‑Punta Cancún route now uses the one‑way road behind Plaza Kukulcán.
- Authorities from the state and the federal Secretaría de Infraestructura, Comunicaciones y Transportes urged motorists to follow signage, drive cautiously, and allow extra travel time as flows adjust.
- The distributor is one of several works tied to the Puente Nichupté, a federally backed program advanced by Governor Mara Lezama with support from President Claudia Sheinbaum and SICT to improve access in this high‑traffic tourist corridor.
