With the goal of helping families spend more time together, strategic projects such as the Morelos Node are being built, and this project will reduce waiting times from one hour to a maximum of five minutes, the governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, said after having toured and supervised it.

This project which is currently 75% done and is estimated to be finalized halfway through November, is part of the RESPIRA program, whose goal is to decrease traveling times and improve traffic flow in the state through mega projects, hydric projects, and the reconfiguration of transport in order to provide wellbeing to all Baja Californians, the governor explained.

This is a high-specialty project that will provide tangible benefits to all inhabitants of Tijuana and Rosarito. It is part of a series of megaprojects that the government of Baja California has set in motion and it represents an investment of 8.5 billion pesos, she added.

Governor Ávila Olmeda reiterated her gratefulness to citizens for their understanding and support during the building of these transformative projects that will provide real solutions to old problems that were never resolved in previous administrations.

The Secretary of Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Territory Redesign, Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo, explained that the bridge, which is almost 600 meters long, at the Morelos Node will allow for a continuous flow of vehicles from Rosarito to 5 y 10 and vice versa, increasing traffic capacity and getting rid of traffic conflicts.

"The first stage is the foundations, which took place in 2023. That has concluded and the second stage is taking place quickly and it involves assembly and putting structural pieces made with thick steel plates into place," the head of SIDURT said.

Following instructions by the governor to minimize discomfort for citizens, these assembling processes take place during the night so that a greater traffic flow can take place during peak hours, the official said.
