The municipal government of Coacalco, Mexico, has officially opened a new road distributor in Parque Residencial Coacalco. This infrastructure project represents an investment exceeding 200 million pesos and is designed to alleviate traffic congestion on the Vía José López Portillo.
Germán Reyes, the public works director for Coacalco, stated that the project was completed four months ahead of schedule, originally slated for an October delivery. The distributor features two sections: Body A directs traffic from Parque Residencial towards Tultitlán, while Body B connects Ecatepec via López Portillo into the residential area. Each section measures approximately 350 to 360 linear meters.
Mayor David Sánchez Isidoro highlighted that the total investment for the road distributor reached around 220 million pesos, funded entirely by municipal resources. He assured that the project, which opened to traffic 20 days prior to its official inauguration, would not result in any municipal debt by the end of his administration. An estimated 80,000 residents from Parque Residencial Coacalco and surrounding elevated neighborhoods are anticipated to benefit from the enhanced mobility.
