As a direct response to the slow restoration of streets torn up for infrastructure work, the State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT) led by Director Mónica Vega Aguirre announced the Pothole Reinforcement Program during a public event on Nogal Street in the Jardín neighborhood, alongside Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda.
The initiative is designed to boost the operational capacity of CESPT, ensuring that roadways affected by drinking water and sewerage projects are returned to full functionality with minimal delay to benefit the people of Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
As part of the plan, CESPT has incorporated new heavy machinery that will enable the agency to patch roughly 500 square meters of pavement per week, equivalent to 2,000 square meters monthly. By the end of 2026, these additional resources are expected to yield an extra 12,000 square meters of restored pavement, bringing the year’s total to at least 80,000 square meters of resurfaced roadways.
Mónica Vega clarified that the program will focus exclusively on streets affected by CESPT’s own repairs and installations, complementing broader road-improvement efforts already being carried out jointly by the Baja California state government and the City Halls of Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
The event also marked the official start of pavement rehabilitation on Nogal Street, where CESPT recently completed the replacement of over 170 linear meters of sanitary sewer lines. That project has already improved local wastewater infrastructure and now paves the way for a full street restoration.
The director stated that by tightening the timeline between hydraulic work completion and final pavement placement they will be able to reduce mobility disruptions and deliver a more responsive service to residents.
The Pothole Reinforcement Program is one of several measures CESPT is rolling out to strengthen public service quality, accelerate roadway recovery, and address the everyday needs of the communities it serves.
