Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- The work for the rehabilitation of the five kilometers of Jocotepec’s beltway has been authorized, announced the municipal president José Miguel Gómez López.
Through a video posted on his social networks, the mayor, who visited the offices of the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Public Works of Jalisco (SIOP) accompanied by General Director of Road infrastructure Omar David Paredes Flores, said that the state government approved «a large investment» for the repair of the road.
The purpose of the project is to restore the very uneven stretch that extends for five kilometers and that, since its creation in the 2007-2009 administration, was a «poorly done work» that only a year after its inauguration developed so much unevenness and potholes that it has become impossible to travel on, said Gómez López.
«We are talking about a section of road that is going to be totally fixed, since it was built with many deficiencies and there are flaws and conditions that are unsafe for anyone traveling along it».
The president announced that the work will begin this year and, although the amount to be invested has not yet been specified, he explained that the bidding processes are already active and that «it will be a significant amount» of money.
The Libramiento de Jocotepec has received several minor repairs, the last one in August 2020, when 500 thousand pesos were spent to repair a dangerous sinkhole.
Finally, in the same video, José Miguel Gómez also announced the rehabilitation of the three kilometers of the Huejotitán intersection, especially at its junction with the Guadalajara-Morelia highway.
