The government of Mexico state is advancing rehabilitation on Avenida Central and Periférico Oriente, totaling nearly 14.2 kilometers in Nezahualcóyotl and Ecatepec, to ensure efficient mobility for the 2026 World Cup. The works will benefit nearly 2 million people and over 180,000 daily vehicles.
The government of Mexico state reports significant progress on rehabilitating two strategic roads in Nezahualcóyotl and Ecatepec. Avenida Central shows 70% completion over 8.8 kilometers, with 3.8 km in Nezahualcóyotl and 5 km in Ecatepec. Periférico Oriente reaches 85% progress on 5.4 km, from Río de los Remedios to the Alameda Oriente bridges.
The works encompass terracing, milling, asphalt paving, replacement of streetlights, horizontal and vertical signage, well leveling, as well as construction of sidewalks and curbs. Additional efforts include cleaning campaigns on medians and side lanes in coordination with municipal authorities, along with safe pedestrian paths and bridge renovations.
These actions are part of the “2026, Año de las Obras en EdoMéx” program, aimed at modernizing road infrastructure. The roads had lacked intervention for decades and will now handle increased traffic for the World Cup.
