Michoacán governor highlights 4.367 billion pesos investment in Morelia road infrastructure

Morelia, the capital of Michoacán, is undergoing a significant transformation in its road infrastructure with an investment of 4.367 billion pesos, according to Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla. These state-funded projects are designed to benefit all road users, including drivers, public transport passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

"With the simultaneous execution of these works, Morelia is positioned as one of the cities in the country with the greatest recent impetus for mobility infrastructure, in a context where urban expansion demands solutions that allow for better connectivity and safer, more efficient circulation," Ramírez Bedolla stated. The investment is channeled into projects such as segments 1, 4, and 5 of the second ring road, and the Paso Catrinas, Monarca, Independencia, and Eréndira interchanges.
