Playa del Carmen’s 2025 Public Works Report Details Key Projects

Playa del Carmen, Mexico — The Municipal Government presented the report of works carried out during 2025, with a total of 43 interventions concluded or in process, primarily in roadways, public spaces, community infrastructure, and urban equipment.

During the presentation, Municipal President Estefanía Mercado stated that the objective has been to address backlogs in mobility, services, and common-use spaces. She indicated that the actions carried out represent an average of one work every eight days.

Key Projects with Direct Impact

Among the detailed projects are six interventions considered to have a direct impact on the population. The first corresponds to the New Access Arch of Playa del Carmen, a work incorporated as a reference point for entry to the city. The second project is the extension of Constituyentes Avenue, which establishes a direct connection between Villas del Sol and the Center and reduces travel times.

Information was also provided on the recovery of Leona Vicario Park, whose facilities were rehabilitated after several years of deterioration; the Civic Plaza of Puerto Aventuras, where a children’s water park was built; the rehabilitation of the Second Park of Villas del Sol, whose first phase is already operational; and the installation of the University Route Stop, which organizes the boarding and alighting of students in the area.

Rehabilitated Parks and Community Spaces

The report included actions of paving on main avenues, rehabilitation of health centers, improvement of sports spaces, and maintenance of absorption wells, sidewalks, and pedestrian crossings. It was added that 14 works remain under execution, among them the repaving of 10th North Avenue, the rehabilitation of the Polyforum, the health centers of Colosio and 28 de Julio, the Albatros sinkhole, and works in Villamar 2.
