La Paz is transforming: Milena Quiroga presents historic investment of over 200M pesos in 15 road projects

The city of La Paz is undergoing a profound transformation in its urban infrastructure, consolidating a more connected and efficient future. During her recent first report of results, Municipal President Milena Quiroga Romero, presented a detailed balance of the paving and connectivity works executed in the last three years, demonstrating an unprecedented commitment to mobility.

In total, the mayor reported the execution of 15 major road infrastructure projects, which together represent an investment exceeding 203 million pesos. This capital injection is not an expense, but a strategic investment designed to reduce travel times, enhance pedestrian and driver safety, and modernize urban mobility in the capital.

"In La Paz, we are building safe mobility with planning, technology, and a human vision of urban development," Quiroga Romero expressed before hundreds of citizens gathered at the City Hall esplanade. This statement underscores that each project is designed not just with concrete in mind, but the well-being of La Paz families and the development potential that quality infrastructure brings.

Among the most relevant and impactful works, the mayor highlighted the paving of the Southwest Urban Circuit. This vital project, which required an investment of 92.5 million pesos, connected Forjadores, Santa Rosa, and Pinopayas avenues, rehabilitating over 4.5 kilometers of roads. This work directly benefits nearly 15,000 inhabitants, increasing their property values and improving their quality of life.

Added to this effort is the construction of the Southeast Urban Circuit, another fundamental artery for the city. With an investment exceeding 90 million pesos, a 1.7-kilometer boulevard was developed, equipped with safe infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The expansion of the Juan de Dios Angulo road pair and the paving of Antonio María Ruiz street were also included, with an investment of 6 million pesos.

It is important to note that these paving works are not isolated actions but are part of a comprehensive mobility plan. This plan includes the creation of the Vial Monitoring Center (Cemovial), the first of its kind in all of Baja California Sur. This high-tech center already operates 27 signalized intersections and more than 100 cameras under an intelligent traffic management system.

The results of this comprehensive vision are already tangible and benefit the daily lives of thousands of people. According to the report, the synergy between the new roads and the smart traffic lights has managed to reduce travel times on the congested Forjadores Boulevard from 1 hour and 20 minutes to an average of just 30 minutes. "Less time in traffic, more time with your family," the mayor pointed out.

Transportation modernization is also a key axis. The "Tiburón Urbano" system, strengthened under this administration, is proof of this. Having started in 2024 with 20,000 monthly trips, today the system registers more than 180,000 trips per month, a nine-fold increase in its demand in just one year of operation. For 2026, it was announced that 40 new units will be incorporated, expanding coverage and consolidating a dignified transport system.

Looking to the future, the 2025-2026 plan includes the continuation of this transformation. The connection of Forjadores Boulevard with the highway to Los Planes was announced, a project developed with FOIS and the State Government to create alternate routes. Additionally, a new resurfacing program for 14 roads was announced, with an investment of 50 million pesos, replacing patching with total rehabilitation.

Finally, Milena Quiroga stressed that this historic advance in infrastructure is only possible thanks to responsible management. In four years, more than 280 million pesos in inherited debts have been paid, without taking on new loans. "With austerity, with transparency, and with sound finances, we have had enough to pay for the past and also enough to pay for the present," she emphasized.
