Hermosillo implements road improvements amid public transport delays

In Hermosillo, Sonora, the municipal administration led by Antonio Astiazarán has completed resurfacing work on 21 strategic roads and high-traffic sections during 2026. Managed by the Dirección General de Desarrollo de Infraestructura (DGDI), these improvements aim to enhance mobility and road safety for motorists, pedestrians, and public transport users. Key areas addressed include República de Panamá, Olivares, Sahuaripa, Simón Bley, and various sections of Bulevar Progreso and Bulevar Agustín de Vildósola.

Simultaneously, students returning to the Universidad de Sonora are facing potential public transport challenges. Alfonso López Villa, spokesperson for Vigilantes del Transporte, warned that increased demand could cause wait times to exceed 40 minutes. He noted that buses often arrive at stops already full, forcing students to wait for multiple vehicles, particularly on saturated routes such as lines 04, 17, 18, and 1 Manga.
