Lázaro Cárdenas has allocated a total investment of MXN 1.729 billion under its Public Works Investment Plan for 2025 to 2030, aimed at strengthening port logistics and transforming urban mobility for the benefit of the surrounding population.
Two strategic road infrastructure projects are currently underway within the city of Lázaro Cárdenas.
The first project, the Construction and Expansion of the Alternate Road to the Port Area including the Lázaro Cárdenas Port Bypass and expansion of the SICARTSA Bridge, is located along the SICARTSA Bypass between Melchor Ocampo Avenue and Morelos Avenue.
With an investment of MXN 214,882,436, the project runs from June 2, 2026 to September 15, 2027.
The works include widening the road from two to four lanes with side shoulders, widening of the SICARTSA bridge, construction of a central median to organise intersection manoeuvres, installation of a rainwater drainage network and LED public lighting.
The project aims to increase operational capacity and road safety, expedite cargo transit, reduce travel times and alleviate heavy traffic congestion in the urban area.
The second project, the Adaptation of Road Infrastructure at the Access to the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas, covers the section between Puentes Cuates and the Lázaro Cárdenas Junction, with an investment of MXN 68,503,088 and an implementation period from July 21, 2026 to April 30, 2027.
Works include closure of the open-air canal through replacement with prefabricated hydraulic concrete boxes, widening of the road from two to three lanes in each direction, construction of road turnarounds, installation of road signage and LED lighting.
The project aims to modernise hydraulic infrastructure and improve mobility and vehicular safety at the main access to the city.
