Mexico City Launches 'Cualli Ohtli' Repaving Plan as Work Starts Oct. 8–9

Night work targets the most damaged segments under a focused two‑year schedule guided by a citywide pavement diagnostic.

Overview

  • Resurfacing begins Wednesday on Avenida Constituyentes (km 13 to Periférico) and Thursday on Paseo de la Reforma, with overnight schedules to limit traffic disruption.
  • The program commits 2,600 million pesos over two years, funded by the city budget and an infrastructure trust, to replace 3.5 million square meters across 250 kilometers.
  • An official assessment prioritized 69 of 217 primary corridors, covering nine major access routes, 35 ejes viales and 25 main avenues such as Periférico, Calzada de Tlalpan, Viaducto Miguel Alemán, Circuito Interior and Río San Joaquín.
  • Execution will deploy 52 simultaneous work fronts, each an eight‑machine repaving train, totaling 416 units, with the SSC traffic division overseeing closures and worker safety.
  • A city‑owned asphalt plant is planned at Bordo Poniente for 2026 to shorten hauling distances and produce recycled mixes to improve durability and reduce costs.
