MÉRIDA, Yucatan, April 1, 2023 – The State Government informed that as part of the works to transform mobility in Merida, starting at 10:00 p.m. on Monday, April 3, vehicular traffic will be restricted at the intersections of 39th and 36th streets in the Jesús Carranza neighborhood and 39th and 28th streets in the Máximo Ancona neighborhood in the Yucatan capital.
This work will be carried out mostly at night. In this way, progress is being made in the construction of road infrastructure for the circulation of the Ie-Tram, the only public transportation system in Latin America that will be 100% electric, for which reason we ask the citizens who travel there to understand and take the necessary precautions to avoid mishaps.
The intersections will remain closed for an indefinite period of time; for this reason, the necessary measures are being taken to minimize the impact on users, placing the necessary signage to indicate alternate routes.
It is recommended that users who travel in vehicles consult the Google Maps and Waze applications before leaving for their destination, even when they know the route to where they are going.
Thus, drivers of vehicles traveling from north to south on 36th and 28th Streets will not be able to cross the intersection of 39th Street and must turn left, in the case of 36th Street, and right for those coming on 28th Street, on that same road to go east to 30th Street, where they must turn right to 41st Street if they wish to go south or, if they wish to continue east, they may do so on 39th Street-A.
Alternate routes will be properly signaled, so people are asked to be aware of the changes.
The intersections of 39 by 20-A in Colonia Mayapán, in front of the Nachi Cocom plant of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and 39 by 4 in the Mayapán subdivision will also remain closed for asphalt concrete placement work, although there will be no further traffic disruptions in these sections, as the work will be carried out during the night.
The State Government appreciates the understanding of the citizens to continue advancing in this project, which will offer Yucatecans an efficient, modern and safe mobility option, connecting more than 100 public transportation routes and more than 137 neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, linking Merida, Kanasin and Uman.
