The stretch of Boulevard Forjadores de Sudcalifornia between Álamo and Virginia Peralta streets in La Paz will reopen to vehicle traffic on Friday, June 12, after the state government confirmed the rehabilitation project reached 100% completion.
The announcement came from SEPUIMM (the Secretariat of Urban Infrastructure, Public Works, and Municipal Modernization). The project covered far more than a simple repaving job, touching nearly every piece of infrastructure along the corridor.
What the Project Included
Crews installed hydraulic concrete paving along the boulevard section. They also upgraded the potable water network and sanitary drainage systems beneath the road. New curbs and sidewalks were built on both sides of the street.
The project added upgraded street lighting, urban furniture such as benches and bollards, and new landscaping. Workers also made improvements to the existing bike lane that runs along Forjadores.
Boulevard Forjadores is one of La Paz’s most heavily traveled roads. It runs through the capital’s commercial core, connecting residential neighborhoods in the south and west with the city center. The corridor carries traffic from supermarkets, schools, government offices, and hospitals.
What Drivers Should Expect
State authorities urged drivers to exercise caution when the boulevard reopens on Friday. Temporary signage will be in place as traffic patterns return to normal. Motorists should expect some congestion during the transition period, especially during morning and afternoon peak hours.
The rehabilitation of Forjadores follows a broader pattern of infrastructure work in La Paz. In April 2026, municipal crews completed landscape rehabilitation along the Colosio section of the boulevard and announced plans to extend similar work to Forjadores, according to local reporting at the time. The reforestation effort included removing degraded soil and replanting with native species.
For residents who use the boulevard daily, the reopening restores a key route that has been partially or fully closed during construction. The drainage and water upgrades should reduce flooding that has historically affected the area during Baja California Sur’s late summer hurricane season, which begins in earnest by August.
