Overview
- Construction stands at roughly 80–87% with cable installation and splicing underway by manufacturer‑certified crews across 6 stations, 48 towers and 91 cabins.
- The state’s test plan begins with empty cabins, proceeds to induced loads and moves to third‑party certification before passengers can board.
- One terminal remains halted after a mayor‑led blockade, with the municipal government conditioning resumed work on concrete state security commitments.
- Mayor Carlos Manzo said he would press Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla for stronger Guardia Civil presence plus operational and budget support for municipal police.
- A Kéri online survey of 1,250 users reported 80.95% rejection of the blockade and a 4.61 approval rating for the mayor, as the separate Morelia cable car advances near 30% toward a projected 2026 finish.
