The mayor of Tlajomulco, Gerardo Quirino Velázquez Chávez, led the start of modernization and maintenance work on the El Zapote highway, a key thoroughfare in the Chapala corridor.
The project, which will involve an investment of 149.5 million pesos, will benefit more than 200,000 residents of the region.
The eight-kilometer roadway is part of the municipality’s road infrastructure program and connects Adolf B. Horn Avenue with the Chapala Highway.
Furthermore, this is a strategic intervention for the southern access to Guadalajara International Airport, which will be developed as part of the investment made by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico.
Impact for southern Tlajomulco
At the inauguration of the project, Gerardo Quirino emphasized that road infrastructure is essential for the development of the region. “Without quality roads, there is no mobility, no commerce, and no growth opportunities,” said the mayor.
He also highlighted the importance of El Zapote Avenue, known as El Canal, as a crucial route for communication between the Chapala Highway and Adolf B. Horn Avenue.
Benefits
The mayor emphasized that the works will improve roadways in the southern part of the municipality and will directly benefit communities such as El Zapote, El Capulín, La Alameda, Los Agaves, and the Chapala corridor, including neighborhoods such as Paseos del Valle, Sendero Real, Valle Dorado, and Lomas del Mirador.
