Guatemala City, Jan 5 (Prensa Latina) Guatemala City government announced the start of construction on the first aerial cable car public transportation system in Central America, designed to reduce travel times.

Due to the construction work, which will connect the municipality of Mixco with Guatemala City, authorities will implement lane reductions, primarily on Montufar Street in Zone 9.

They detailed alternate routes for drivers who travel through that area daily, describing the closures as temporary and in effect during the construction phase.

Motorists were urged to plan their routes and pay attention to the signage that will be installed in the area.

Pablo Castillo, spokesperson for La Aurora International Airport, warned that the activity will affect traffic and arrival times at the terminal, which is near the construction site.

He recommended that travelers leave early, consult alternate routes, and follow the instructions of highway officials in the city.

The initial phase, of seven, began on November 24th, to establish the foundations between El Trebol and Zone 8, which must be completed by May 2027.
