PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – The Secretary of Infrastructure and Public Works of the state of Jalisco, David Zamora Bueno, announced that the reconstruction and renovation works of the Boca de Tomatlán and Los Muertos piers will be completed by the end of September this year.
Zamora recently conducted an oversight tour of both docks. He reported that the reconstruction of the Boca de Tomatlán pier, known for its challenging conditions due to wave activity, has successfully overcome its most critical phase.
Of the 21 piles that constitute the structure, 16 have already been cast, along with the bridge slab, putting it on track to meet the September deadline.
The Los Muertos pier has been in need of maintenance for 15 years, leading to its inclusion in the renovation project. The Secretary shared that part of the concrete structure is being reinforced with carbon fiber. He said, “We’re practically replacing entire sections of railings, as well as substituting the wooden benches with ones better suited to weather conditions. We’re also refurbishing the lighting system, which will be complemented in the lower part. I am confident both renovations will be ready for inauguration in September.”
Both projects are being funded partly through state resources, while the Los Muertos Pier renovation will also utilize funds from the 3% Lodging Tax, channeled through the Puerto Rico Tourism Trust. The renovation of the Los Muertos Pier represents an investment of 10 million pesos, while the Boca de Tomatlán Pier project has a budget exceeding 30 million pesos.
The renovation is expected to boost tourism and promote local economic development, while improving the overall safety and functionality of the docks. With the anticipation of completion in September, locals and tourists alike look forward to the unveiling of the newly renovated landmarks.
