### Nighttime Closures Planned for the Morelos Node Project in Tijuana
The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Territorial Reordering (SIDURT) has announced upcoming road closures due to construction activities on the Morelos Node project in Tijuana. Key operations will involve the lifting and movement of beams along Cuauhtémoc Boulevard as part of constructing a new bridge that will enhance connectivity between Libramiento Sur and Cuauhtémoc Boulevard. These activities are scheduled for the night of Thursday, October 3, 2024, to minimize disruptions to traffic flow.
Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo, the head of SIDURT, emphasized the necessity of these temporary nighttime closures on Cuauhtémoc Boulevard South and three ancillary roads. This construction is crucial for improving mobility for vehicles traveling towards Playas de Rosarito, Santa Fe, and the city center.
To alleviate the inconvenience, alternative routes will be available for travelers. Vehicles heading from downtown Tijuana to Playas de Rosarito, or vice versa, are encouraged to use alternative paths:
– Motorists from the 5y10 area heading to the center are advised to take Río de la Concepción Avenue to reach Cuauhtémoc Boulevard.
– For those traveling towards Santa Fe, the route via Francisco Zarco Boulevard is recommended, with connections available at Valle Sur below Libramiento Sur.
Safety measures, including illuminated signage and fixed barriers, will be in place during this operation to prevent accidents and ensure effective traffic management.
SIDURT urges all drivers to comply with traffic personnel instructions and signage to maintain safety and efficient traffic flow during this critical work phase. The work highlights the ongoing commitment to urban development and infrastructure improvements across Baja California.
