Padre Juan de Ugarte Boulevard in Loreto before repaving

Baja California Sur's urban planning and infrastructure agency (SEPUIMM) begins work on October 1 to repave Padre Juan de Ugarte Boulevard in Loreto with hydraulic concrete. The investment is 29.7 million pesos.

The stretch runs from the Transpeninsular Highway, on its Loreto–Santa Rosalía segment, to Salvatierra Boulevard. The money comes from the Loreto Social Infrastructure Works Trust, according to the state government.

More than pavement

Pipes will be replaced before the concrete is poured. Israel Soria Villa, SEPUIMM's director of Road Infrastructure and Urban Mobility, said the boulevard's drinking water and sanitary sewer networks will be fully renewed, in coordination with Loreto's water utility, OOMSAPAS.

The project also includes curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, street furniture, road signage and rehabilitation of street lighting.

What to know if you drive there

The official bulletin does not specify how long the work will take or what detours will be used. In projects like this, which require trenching for pipes, partial closures by section and brief water interruptions during hookups are common.

To avoid surprises:

  • Check OOMSAPAS Loreto notices before interconnection work in case of scheduled outages.
  • Use Salvatierra Boulevard or parallel streets while machinery is on the stretch.
  • If you run a business on the boulevard, ask the site office for the work schedule.

Why it matters

Padre Juan de Ugarte links the Transpeninsular Highway with downtown Loreto, making it one of the main entrances for drivers arriving from the north or from Ciudad Constitución. Hydraulic concrete generally holds up better than asphalt to storm runoff, which matters in a state that has faced two cyclones in September and October.

This story will be updated when SEPUIMM or the city government publishes the timeline and detours.
