Puerto Morelos Mayor Blanca Merari Tziu Reviews Paving Work in Leona Vicario

Leona Vicario, Quintana Roo — Puerto Morelos Mayor Blanca Merari Tziu Muñoz toured two streets in the Leona Vicario delegation to inspect paving work carried out under this year’s public works program.

Accompanied by Public Works Secretary Mario Salinas Castro and Antonio Chuc Pech, the councilor who chairs the town council’s public works committee, Merari said the projects respond to specific needs raised by residents and represent progress in upgrading the delegation’s urban infrastructure.

“Every street we pave means better conditions for families — for those who leave for work, take their children to school or go about their daily activities,” she said. “We are bringing public works where they are needed, responding to the demands of our people and honoring our commitments.”

6.2 Million Pesos Across Two Streets

On Ignacio Ruiz Davis street, along the stretch between Apolinar Reyes and Benito Juárez, the municipality invested 4,710,738 pesos. Work on Apolinar Reyes street, between Ignacio Ruiz Davis and Hacienda Santa María, cost 1.55 million pesos.

Both projects included site preparation and soil compaction, a 5-centimeter hot-mix asphalt surface, and new horizontal and vertical road markings intended to improve conditions for pedestrians and drivers.

Merari said the street upgrades form part of a broader strategy to strengthen infrastructure in both the municipal seat and Leona Vicario, where resources have been directed in 2026 toward projects meant to drive development and improve residents’ well-being.

She said municipal spending on public works this year has surpassed 81 million pesos, the result of planning aimed at meeting community needs. Her administration is already preparing its 2027 project list in order to maintain the pace of investment, she added.
