Distribuidor Vial
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Distribuidor Vial is a Mexican freeway located at the west side of Mexico City called "Distribuidor Vial San Antonio" and at the east side of the city another one called "Distribuidor Vial Zaragoza". It was built under the mandate of the previous head of government, Andrés Manuel López Obrador between 2002 and May 14th 2006. It's called also "Segundo piso" (second floor). The "Distribuidor Vial" is part of a much more ambitious project (los "Segundos Pisos" more than 180 km all over the city). A series of roads elevated, all over existing roads, that along with other precise actions like public transport (metro and metrobus), new computer traffic lights, parking lots on strategic points and some other minor works (u turns, etc). allow to solve the problems of traffic of Mexico City.
