Los Cabos Mayor Christian Agúndez inaugurated the first phase of hydraulic concrete paving on Camino al Tezal in Cabo San Lucas, a project backed by 20.4 million pesos (roughly $1 million USD) in combined municipal and environmental trust funding. The El Tezal road upgrade will directly benefit more than 8,700 residents in one of the fastest-growing corridors between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
What the First Phase Includes
The initial phase covers 275 linear meters of new roadway and nearly 3,000 square meters of hydraulic concrete paving. Work on Crispín Ceseña Street extends from the Duara and Privanzas residential developments to the four-lane highway.
Beyond the road surface itself, the project includes upgraded water supply and sewer lines, new sidewalks, and eight LED streetlights. The municipality’s General Directorate of Public Works and Human Settlements is overseeing the construction.
Funding and Future Phases
The 20.4 million peso budget comes from a partnership between the Los Cabos municipal government and FISAM, an environmental trust fund that includes hotel sector representatives. A second phase is already planned for the coming months, and a possible third phase is under consideration.
The road improvements arrive as El Tezal experiences significant residential and commercial growth. The neighborhood sits about five to ten minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas on the mountain side of the Transpeninsular Highway. Residents have access to Costco, The Home Depot, Soriana, hospitals, schools, and multiple shopping centers.
Urban Planning Updates Ahead
The municipality is also updating the El Tezal partial urban plan and the broader Municipal Urban Development Plan. These updates will shape future zoning and infrastructure investment across the area.
El Tezal figures into larger regional infrastructure discussions as well. A longer-term proposal for a third roadway, the Eje Interurbano, would run 20.3 kilometers between El Tezal and the airport zone, relieving traffic pressure on both the federal highway and the toll road.
Los Cabos has seen rapid population growth in recent years, putting strain on roads, water systems, and housing. The airport handled more than 7.5 million passengers in 2024, a 40% increase from 2021, and a master plan calls for a 7 billion peso terminal expansion by 2029.
