en.Wedoany.com Reported - The city of Morelia, capital of the Mexican state of Michoacán, plans to construct a new ring road—the Second Outer Ring Project. The project is expected to cost $167.4 million, funded by the state government, with a total length of 51 kilometers and an estimated daily traffic volume of over 4,500 vehicles.

The Morelia metropolitan area has a population of approximately 1 million, and the new ring road aims to improve local traffic conditions. The historic district of Morelia features many narrow streets that existed before the invention of motor vehicles, and traffic congestion has been a long-standing issue. The project will allow transit and commuter traffic to bypass the city, thereby reducing travel times.

Morelia is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Michoacán, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for its well-preserved historic center. This ring road project is a key component of Morelia's transportation infrastructure improvements, with the state government advancing multiple traffic projects in the region, including the completed Erendira interchange, to optimize the urban road network.
