Mexico City Launches ‘Cualli Ohtli’ Night Repaving of 69 Primary Roads

The 2.6‑billion‑peso plan shifts from patching to structural resurfacing.

Overview

  • Work begins Oct. 8 on Avenida Constituyentes and Oct. 9 on Paseo de la Reforma, carried out overnight with traffic and worker protection by the SSC.
  • The program targets 3.5 million square meters of asphalt—about 250 kilometers—intervening only the most damaged segments of key corridors.
  • Up to 52 simultaneous work fronts with roughly 416 machines are planned by November, blending contractor crews with five new city-owned repaving trains.
  • Funding combines the city’s fiscal budget with the Infrastructure, Mobility, Water and Public Security trust for the 2025–2026 cycle.
  • Routine pothole repair continues in parallel as officials prepare a 2026 Bordo Poniente asphalt plant to reduce haul distances and use recycled mixes.
