The Environmental Sanitation Trust (FISAM) is evaluating an allocation of between 250 and 300 million pesos toward a package of seven road projects intended to relieve congestion on the Transpeninsular Highway between Los Cabos International Airport, San José del Cabo, and Cabo San Lucas.
The seven works carry a combined estimated cost of 9 to 12 billion pesos. The FISAM allocation represents initial funding only. The municipality intends to seek the balance from state and federal sources.
Planning Status
The Municipal Planning Institute (Implan) completed a technical study identifying the corridor’s highest-impact bottlenecks. In April 2026, FISAM authorized 52.6 million pesos for executive design studies covering the priority works, and that contract went to tender. Those studies are meant to establish technical specifications, costs, and feasibility, which are prerequisites for requesting federal construction financing.
Julio Castillo Gómez, executive president of the Los Cabos Coordinating Council (CCC), has stated that no money would be spent on mobility until a technically justified project plan was complete. The FISAM technical committee, which includes private-sector representatives, is now reviewing proposals for funding allocation.
Roberto Flores, director general of Urban Development for the municipality, has led the planning work. Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez presented the seven-project list publicly in May 2026.
The Seven Projects
- Eje Interurbano. A third route between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, running inland between the Transpeninsular Highway and the existing bypass, with connections to El Tezal and the toll plaza. Estimated at 5 to 6 billion pesos, roughly half the total package. Not yet started.
- El Zacatal Bridge. An elevated crossing over the arroyo near the San José del Cabo airport, intended to keep the corridor open during rainy-season flooding.
- Cerro Colorado overpass. An elevated vehicular pass through the resort-dense midsection of the Tourist Corridor.
- La Sanluqueña overpass. Elevated infrastructure at the Cabo San Lucas entrance.
- Avenida Estrella modernization, Cabo San Lucas. Upgrade of the existing avenue connecting Colonia del Sol to the highway.
- Camino Choyero modernization, San José del Cabo. Upgrade of the existing route serving local circulation.
- Santa Anita to Buenavista corridor. Four-lane expansion of the highway north of San José del Cabo. A separate Camino San Carlos connection between the toll road and the Transpeninsular Highway has also appeared in earlier project lists.
Recently Completed
In May 2026, federal and state authorities inaugurated the Las Mujeres Libres de BCS distributor in San José del Cabo, formerly the Glorieta del Fonatur. The 700 million peso project spans 1.5 kilometers with an 800-meter lower vehicular pass, serves approximately 62,000 vehicles daily, and is reported to cut peak-hour transit times by up to 40 minutes. It was delivered about six weeks ahead of schedule. Officials identified El Zacatal Bridge as the next priority following its completion.
Outstanding
No construction start dates, phasing order, tender schedules for construction, or completion windows have been announced for any of the seven projects. Land acquisition has been cited as a factor that could extend timelines.
