Puebla mayor Chedraui opens local paving project as state aims to repave 412 km of streets in 2026

Municipal president Pepe Chedraui inspected the paving of Hermanos Serdán–Benjamín Gil street in the Santo Tomás Chautla auxiliary council, a 154‑metre stretch that will serve roughly 2,900 residents. The work, part of the city’s “Calles Al 100” program, includes a new sub‑base, hydraulic base, tactile paving, ramps, bollards, signage and lighting.

State governor Alejandro Armenta Mier announced a broader plan to rehabilitate 412 kilometres of roads – equivalent to about 28,000 streets – across 31 municipalities during 2026. The program will benefit nearly three million people and covers major corridors such as the Periférico Ecológico and Diagonal Defensores de la República. The state has added five paving modules, bringing its fleet to 13 owned units and one donated by PEMEX, plus 14 terracería modules. The effort targets both urban avenues and state highways, with an expected daily progress of 250 metres linear and a total use of 36,000 tonnes of AC‑20 asphalt.
