Highway Maintenance Across Baja California Sur

Maintenance work includes pothole repairs, drainage cleaning, roadside vegetation clearing, and other technical measures designed to preserve roadway conditions. Officials said the program aims to keep highways free of potholes, reduce the risk of accidents, and improve driving conditions for motorists.

The project covers the Federal Toll-Free Highway Network in Baja California Sur, which spans 1,412.64 kilometers. The network includes 1,024 kilometers of tourist highway corridors, 260.29 kilometers of the basic highway network, and 128.34 kilometers of secondary roadways.

Maintenance efforts also included work on bridges throughout the highway system. According to SICT, repairs and conservation measures were carried out on key transportation infrastructure along major highway corridors in the state.

SICT said it is committed to maintaining roads in optimal condition to support safer, faster, and more comfortable travel for both residents and visitors throughout Baja California Sur.
