It would be until the end of the year the opening of tunnels in the Historic Center of Morelia: Roberto Monroy – MonitorExpresso.com

Morelia, Michoacán. – It will be until the end of the year that the opening of the tunnels in the Historic Center will be achieved, said the Secretary of Tourism, Roberto Monroy García, who accepted that the project is only in the first stage and there are still no expectations of the economic spillover and tourism that it could attract. In a press conference, he mentioned the example of Puebla, where 27 pesos are charged to enter the tunnel. According to Marco Antonio Rodríguez Espinosa, director of the INAH Michoacán Center, a thorough review with the teams of specialists is required on the study that the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) presented a project of geophysical, electrical and 3D seismic exploration of the subsoil of the government building. In fact, we had been warned that along with this first study, a complementary study was being prepared, which we understand will be ready in March; however, in this first study that was presented to us, it was sent to our laboratory in Mexico City and some general observations were made to deepen training that allows us to give you complete certainty in what is going to be done because we are interested not only in the security of the heritage, but also in the safety of people and the investments that are going to take place there.” He pointed out that the technical opinion document generated by the Institute has already been delivered and it is expected that with the next study that will be presented, the necessary information will be available to begin working on the intervention strategy, which would be the second stage of the work. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that the government has sought to open the Morelia tunnels. In 2020, the then mayor of Morelia, Raúl Morón Orozco, announced that he would promote the exploration of the tunnel under the Government Palace, but the initiative did not advance.
