Morelia's Second Peripheral Ring road project is underway, with an estimated cost of 2.9 billion pesos. The construction is being financed entirely by the state government, with no debt incurred, according to Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla.

Governor Ramírez Bedolla recently inspected the fifth segment of the massive infrastructure project. This segment begins at the road to Mil Cumbres and concludes at Ciudad Salud. The entire Second Peripheral Ring road will extend over 51 kilometers, currently divided into segments one, four, and five.

This specific section is projected to directly benefit around 100,000 residents in the eastern area of Morelia, the capital of Michoacán. The governor highlighted the road's crucial role in easing traffic congestion on the city's periphery, estimating it will facilitate the movement of over 4,500 vehicles daily.

The project aims to improve connectivity and reduce travel times for a significant portion of the city's population, contributing to smoother urban mobility.
