Mexico City Launches ‘Cualli Ohtli’ Repaving; Night Work Starts on Constituyentes and Reforma

Night crews will scale to 52 work fronts by November under a 2.6 billion‑peso push.

Overview

  • Overnight works began Oct. 8 on Avenida Constituyentes and Oct. 9 on Paseo de la Reforma in the city’s west.
  • The program targets 69 primary corridors to replace 3.5 million m² of asphalt—about 250 km—through May 2026.
  • Operations will ramp to 52 simultaneous fronts with 416 machines, plus five city‑run trains, working at night to limit traffic impacts.
  • Funding totals 2,600 million pesos from the city budget and the Infrastructure, Mobility, Water and Public Security trust, with routine pothole repairs continuing separately.
  • Officials plan a new asphalt plant at Bordo Poniente in 2026 and face calls to coordinate underground water and drainage fixes to prevent reopening newly repaved roads.
