Four major highway improvement projects are underway in Cancun. A traffic interchange is being built in the vicinity of the airport; Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard is being repaved and widened; a bridge over Nichupte Lagoon will link the city and the Hotel Zone and eliminate the bottleneck in the Punta Cancun area and a new access road connecting Huayacan Avenue and Boulevard Colosio will provide an alternative access route for Cancun residents. Work will continue in stages until October 2023, the estimated time of completion given by the Ministry of Communication and Transport. When these projects are finished, they will improve accessibility and traffic circulation in the area, however in the meantime, some traffic disruption and delays are expected.
Possible traffic disruption and delays The authorities are doing everything possible to keep disruption to a minimum by planning the work in stages for the four projects and opening alternative routes from Avenida Huayacan for access to Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard. However, traffic is slower to and from the airport and entering the Cancun Hotel Zone and in the Riviera Maya, especially at peak times during the day. We ask you to bear this in mind as it is affecting travel times to and from the resorts and the airport transportation services offered by Thomas More Travel.
