Tulum Announces Temporary Road Closures for CAPA Sewer Work

Tulum, Quintana Roo — The city’s traffic authorities will implement temporary road closures beginning Monday to allow for sewer infrastructure work by CAPA, the local water and sewage commission.

The closures will run from Monday, Sept. 7, through Wednesday, Sept. 9, and may remain in place indefinitely, according to the Tulum Traffic and Road Department. Roads that currently serve as bypass routes for heavy trucks and commercial transport will be affected during the work.

Rosario Jessica Orozco Zavala, director of the Traffic and Road Department, said the restrictions are intended to ensure safety for drivers, pedestrians, and workers while limiting disruptions to mobility.

CAPA crews will connect a 10-inch discharge line from the Villas Tulum sewage pumping station to an existing line at the intersection of Faisan Street and La Selva Avenue, as part of a project to improve wastewater flow between pumping stations across the municipality.

Orozco Zavala said advance notice is especially important for truck drivers so they can plan alternate routes. “It is important that drivers know about the closures and the alternate routes in advance so they can plan their trips and avoid delays,” she said.

Municipal officials will run an information and traffic-guidance campaign through local media, official channels, and other platforms to keep carriers, motorists, and residents informed. Drivers are urged to obey road signs, follow instructions from traffic officers, and proceed with caution in the construction zones.
