This important road, where the municipalities of Oaxaca de Juárez, Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, San Antonio de la Cal, and San Agustín de la Juntas converge, is built with four lanes of 3.2 meters wide, a bicycle lane, and wide sidewalks that privilege pedestrian traffic. The head of the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Communications (SIC), Carlos Vichido Hernández, explained that in this phase, 400 square meters were paved, slopes and embankments were built to protect the banks of the tributary, more than 700 linear meters of sanitary collectors in the metropolitan area were rehabilitated, and underground storm drainage systems and drains were built.
