Morelia Closes Morelos Norte at Emiliano Zapata for Daytime Repair on Friday

Repeated failures at the Emiliano Zapata junction stem from heavy public transport loads combined with subsurface water infiltration.

Overview

  • Traffic is halted from 9:00 to 16:00 between Calle del Trabajo and Calle Eduardo Ruiz as crews work at the Plaza del Carmen crossing.
  • The intervention removes damaged asphalt, stabilizes the base and installs hydraulic concrete to restore the carriageway.
  • Officials plan to complete the operation the same day, contingent on weather conditions.
  • Two crews are deployed with eight machines, four trucks and 25 workers, supported by an outlay of roughly 250,000 to 300,000 pesos.
  • Authorities expect the deformation to recur at this vulnerable Centro Histórico site, so the area will be monitored and lanes reopened progressively as work allows.
