Tulum Completes Pedestrian Bridge Maintenance in Akumal After Community Demand

Akumal, Quintana Roo — The Tulum City Council has completed maintenance work on the pedestrian bridge in Akumal, addressing one of the most frequent requests from local residents and aiming to improve safety for daily users of the vital infrastructure.

During a supervision tour, Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo, accompanied by Akumal delegate Antonio Sosa and Infrastructure Director Christian Moguel, reviewed the progress and highlighted that the intervention was made possible through coordination between municipal, state, and federal authorities.

“As a municipal government, we made the necessary arrangements to carry out the maintenance of this bridge; it was something the population had been asking for a long time. We are clear that working in unity with all levels of government will allow us to multiply the benefits for the people of Tulum,” Castañón said.

The mayor thanked state and federal governments for their support and stressed the importance of maintaining ongoing dialogue with citizens to understand the needs of each community firsthand.

Infrastructure Director Christian Moguel explained that the work included replacing damaged metal barriers, installing protective mesh, sanding and painting, and placing LED lamps along the bridge to improve visibility and provide greater safety for pedestrians at night.

The municipal administration said it will continue promoting projects that respond to the needs of the population, prioritizing close contact with citizens and coordinated work with different levels of government.
