🇲🇽 Puerto Vallarta Planning Major Public Works in 2026 — What Expats Should Know
Puerto Vallarta’s city government has announced plans for a record public-works budget that could exceed 600 million pesos in 2026. While the final total is still being finalized, several large projects are already being discussed that could impact daily life in the city.
Key highlights being proposed:
🏥 Healthcare
- A first construction phase for a new Civil Hospital, with early estimates around 400M pesos
- A specialized autism clinic (approx. 30M pesos), which could be significant for families needing long-term care options locally
🏟 Sports & Community Spaces
- A large sports complex in La Bobadilla (around 200M pesos), expected to become a major recreation and training hub
🌊 Waterfront & Public Areas
- Updates to the Las Peñas pier as part of a broader waterfront access plan
- Proposed improvements to Isla del Río Cuale, viewpoints, and the Historic Center through dedicated trusts
💡 What really matters going forward
The big number sounds promising, but the real test will be:
- Which projects actually start first
- Construction timelines and traffic disruption
- Transparency around funding and execution
- Whether projects are completed or stall mid-way
If managed well, 2026 could bring real improvements in healthcare access, public spaces, and quality of life for residents. If not, it risks becoming another year of unfinished projects.
