Mexico City battles floods and unfinished projects disrupting key routes

Heavy rains have left parts of Mexico City’s underpasses flooded, disrupting access to key routes. Meanwhile, the newly inaugurated Floating Garden in Calzada de Tlalpan remains partially closed, with barriers blocking certain sections. The underpass linking Manuel J. Othón with Calzada San Antonio Abad is currently impassable due to flooding. The walkway between Antonio Solís and Juan de Dios Arias is also shut, along with the bridge connecting Fernando Ramírez and José T. Cuéllar streets.

The Floating Garden, officially opened yesterday, still has restricted areas. Metal barriers and padlocks block access to unfinished sections, where construction materials and tools are visible. City authorities have yet to announce when the ongoing mobility improvement works will be completed. Residents and visitors face ongoing disruptions as both flooding and construction limit movement across these locations.

With flooded underpasses and closed walkways, travel in the area remains difficult. The unfinished sections of the Floating Garden add to the delays, though no timeline for completion has been given. Authorities have not provided further updates on when normal access will resume.
