Overview
- The government says it completed a 2025 pilot that rehabilitated 33 main avenues grouped into five strategic circuits, which it frames as the equivalent of 5,000 streets across the metropolitan area and nearby municipalities.
- Authorities have announced a 2026 scale-up to intervene 100 vialidades aiming to rehabilitate the equivalent of 28,000 streets (about 420 km) using roughly 36,000 tonnes of AC-20 asphalt, with Pemex providing 12,000 tonnes and the state buying the rest.
- The program relies on an in-house execution model that deploys 277 pieces of machinery and multiple paving trains, with nearly 1 billion pesos invested in modules and equipment paid from ordinary budgets rather than new debt.
- Officials say the new model reduces operating costs by more than 60 percent by using state-operated paving modules, Pemex material support and reuse of milled material when feasible.
- Technical choices such as permeable asphalt mixes, preventive maintenance plans and a community street-selection process planned for 2027 aim to improve drainage, extend pavement life and reduce vehicle damage for residents.
