Uruapan Cable Car Advances to Cable Splicing With Safety Tests Set for Dec. 15

Passenger service could begin in January pending certification.

Overview

  • Cable installation for a 91‑cabin system is underway with splicing performed by manufacturer‑certified crews, followed by communications‑cable wrapping and commissioning.
  • Authorities scheduled phased trials to start on December 15, progressing from empty cabins to induced‑load testing before final verification.
  • Officials estimate opening to riders in January, contingent on the certificadora’s approval after adjustments and checks.
  • An oversight visit with the Auditor Superior corroborated reported physical and financial progress and dismissed claims of delays.
  • The parallel Morelia line stands at roughly 30% overall progress with its electromechanical system complete and a late‑2026 completion target, with Uruapan’s complementary works set to be replicated there in 2026.
