Cancún’s Huayacán and 135 Avenue Roadworks Reach 65% Completion

Construction crews and heavy equipment work on the rehabilitation of Huayacán and 135 avenues in Cancún, Quintana Roo

Cancún, Quintana Roo — The comprehensive rehabilitation of Huayacán and 135 avenues is 65 percent complete, while foundation work on the Titán building has reached 10 percent, Benito Juárez Secretary of Public Works and Services Samantha Hernández Cardeña announced. Both projects are among the city’s key urban infrastructure efforts aimed at improving mobility and public facilities.

On the roadworks, the official said crews have moved into the finishing stage for the pavement and the leveling of underground utilities.

“We have made a great deal of progress there. Right now we are in the process of pouring the hydraulic concrete slabs. On asphalt we are quite far along, and we are in the phase of re-leveling the utility registries,” Hernández Cardeña said.

She urged residents to take care around the work zones.

“We ask everyone to please keep and maintain their distance between vehicles to avoid collisions and to drive at an appropriate speed while the work is being completed on both Huayacán and 135 avenues.”

Although the project operates under a multiyear contracting scheme, the department is seeking to speed up delivery of the work to the first quarter of 2027.

Hernández Cardeña also said weather conditions have been favorable for the pace of the crews, noting that recent rains have delayed work but that an unusually dry year has helped overall.

Titán Building Foundation Underway

Turning to the Titán building, the secretary said the project remains on schedule for its base infrastructure.

“That project is about 10 percent complete; we are in the foundation phase. We know it is a four-story building, so the footings, the pilings and the entire skeleton of the structure have to be poured properly,” she said.

She stressed that close oversight is being kept on the technical development of the public complex before the next construction stages begin. Inspections are carried out weekly with the mayor to verify that building processes meet the highest quality standards, she added.

The foundation phase is expected to finish at the end of this year or early next year, clearing the way for stage two, which calls for another building at the same site.
