In an effort to improve the city’s main roadways, Mayor Rocío Adame announced a 10 million peso investment dedicated to pothole repairs.

The program will be carried out through coordination between municipal and state governments and includes the rehabilitation of streets damaged by recent rains. According to officials, more extensive repair work will begin once the rainy season ends to ensure longer-lasting results for motorists and visitors.

In the meantime, City Hall reported that urgent cases have already been addressed, noting that it is not feasible to invest in large-scale materials that would not withstand current weather conditions.

Staff from the Department of Urban Services have also conducted preventive pothole repairs along Bulevar Benito Juárez, the city’s main thoroughfare, with the goal of improving road safety and minimizing traffic disruptions.

Urban Services Director Mauricio Aguirre Ruiz explained that the work is intended to improve traffic flow, with priority given to major boulevards, avenues and key neighborhood access roads.

He added that between Feb. 1 and Feb. 24, the city received a dozen requests for pothole repairs and roadway improvements through a dedicated WhatsApp service that allows residents to report the exact location of damaged pavement.

Currently, repair efforts are being carried out with an initial investment of 2 million pesos, focusing on citizen reports and primary roads to enhance the city’s overall urban image.

Among recent actions was work on Manuel Pérez Yáñez Street in the Lucio Blanco neighborhood, where seven cubic meters of material were applied to reinforce road safety and prevent further deterioration.
