The city’s new cable car system has reached 85 percent completion and has entered a technical testing phase. This initial phase, which connects Estadio Morelos with the Monumento a Lázaro Cárdenas via four stations, is intended to reduce travel times by up to 45 percent. Testing currently involves cabin runs, electrical connections, and component verification, with load and braking tests scheduled prior to a final certification review by European specialists. Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla noted that the 2.5 billion peso project is being funded without public debt and aims to provide sustainable mass transit for students, workers, and people with disabilities. The full system is expected to span 7.2 kilometers across two phases, with the second phase extending from the obelisk to Santa María. Additionally, construction continues on a 51.5-kilometer second peripheral ring road. This project, involving an investment of over 3,198 million pesos, aims to connect the metropolitan area by linking various exits, including Pátzcuaro, Quiroga, Mil Cumbres, and Álvaro Obregón. A recently inaugurated 12.2-kilometer segment in the municipality of Charo now allows for travel in approximately seven minutes. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-14: Morelia cable car project reaches 85 percent completion The first phase of Morelia's cable car project is 85 percent complete, aiming to reduce travel times by 45 percent through a new 7.2-kilometer transit system. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/morelia-cable-car-project-reaches-85-percent-completion ### 2026-10-07: Morelia infrastructure projects reach key milestones Morelia is advancing major infrastructure works, including a cable car system at 85 percent completion and a 51.5-kilometer peripheral ring road project. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/morelia-infrastructure-projects-reach-key-milestones --- Cite as: Morelia urban infrastructure development.
