With the shared vision of continuing to join efforts to improve the quality of life and the economy of Yucatecan families, Vila Dosal and López Obrador followed up on the progress of the construction of sections 3 Calkiní-Izamal and 4 Izamal-Cancún, as well as the Gran Parque de la Plancha, where the Governor recently verified the development of this important project that will offer a recreational space for families and detonate the economy of the area, as a result of his negotiations with the Federation.
Regarding this last project and in the presence of the head of the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena), Luis Crescencio Sandoval, Vila Dosal and López Obrador reviewed the status of this project that represents an investment of more than 1.3 billion pesos and in its more than 22 hectares of surface will have a wide range of attractions and areas for the healthy coexistence and recreation of locals and visitors to Yucatán.
In this sense, it was recalled that the project launched together with the head of the Sedena, Luis Cresencio Sandoval Gonzalez, on September 20, is developing favorably and according to schedule.
It was recalled that the entire area is divided into 4 sections, with green areas, covered walkways, bike paths, amphitheater for 10 thousand people, boardwalk, Pet Park, outdoor gym and sports areas, bike path, relocated housing areas, Museum of Light, Railroad Museum, 8 children’s play areas, skating rink and an IE-Tram station that will take passengers arriving from the Tren Maya to Teya to the city center, while the other routes will be connected.

The purpose of this plant is to supply clean and sustainable energy to the Ie-tram units, the first 100% electric route in the southeast of the country, of the “Va y ven” Transportation System.
