Municipal authorities in Chihuahua have opened a newly constructed bridge on Abolición de la Esclavitud street to serve as a provisional alternate route. The infrastructure project is designed to relieve traffic congestion along Avenida Tecnológico while construction crews build an underpass at the intersection with Los Arcos.
Abolición de la Esclavitud crossing opens to bypass construction
Mayor Marco Antonio Bonilla Mendoza announced the opening of the crossing, which connects the Frente Revolucionario street from Guillermo Prieto Luján with Abolición de la Esclavitud, providing direct access toward the Los Arcos sector. The roadway sits just a few meters away from the Colegio de Bachilleres Plantel número 10, a location that heavily influences local traffic patterns during peak commuting and school hours.
Public-private collaboration delivers the provisional span
Construction of the bridge was executed by RUBA as part of an agreement with the municipal government, following coordination led by District 12 Deputy Nancy Frías. Officials inspected the corridor to evaluate ongoing neighborhood needs and ensure the route functions properly for surrounding residents.
Phased opening brings single-body two-way transit
At present, the bridge operates with a single structural body accommodating two-way traffic. Municipal officials confirmed that the second body will open to complete the full infrastructure in the coming weeks.
Por la urgencia de ponerla en marcha de manera inicial está abierto un solo cuerpo, con circulación en ambos sentidos, y en las próximas semanas se habilitan los dos cuerpos completos
Strict weight limits enforced to protect neighborhood streets
Authorities have emphasized specific operational rules to maintain safety and fluid mobility on the new connection. Mayor Bonilla urged local motorists to prioritize residents and students who rely on the corridor daily.
Commercial freight haulers and heavy cargo trucks are strictly prohibited from using the bridge. The restriction aims to protect the road surface and keep commute times short for students and families.
Northern zone commuters face ongoing corridor adjustments
State infrastructure projects on the Tecnológico and Los Arcos underpass continue. Drivers traveling through northern Chihuahua are encouraged to anticipate altered traffic patterns and allocate extra travel time while construction moves forward.
City leaders and representatives from RUBA continue monitoring the sector to address minor infrastructural adjustments as traffic adapts to the new configuration.
