Michoacán Nears Completion of Uruapan Cable Car With Infrastructure Spending Topping 6 Billion Pesos

President Sheinbaum dismissed reports of social discontent around the cable car project, underlining federal support for Uruapan’s mobility overhaul.

Overview

  • The teleférico in Uruapan has reached 87 percent completion as part of a new integrated transportation system.
  • The state has earmarked 5 billion pesos for urban mobility and road improvements in Uruapan, contributing to a nearly 6 billion-peso investment commitment without taking on public debt.
  • Twenty-two complementary works — including safe crossings, a skatepark and a community dining hall — are underway to link neighborhoods to the cable car towers.
  • Major social infrastructure projects are in progress, notably a new IMSS Hospital General de Zona No. 85 backed by 1.4 billion pesos and a Municipal DIF facility at 43.74 percent completion.
  • Business, political and civil society leaders have endorsed the Plan de Movilidad, and President Sheinbaum has ruled out widespread local resistance to the cable car.
