Mexico leaves the World Cup and the works are still going on

As of 26 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico has withdrawn from hosting the tournament, but construction work continues on the Jardín Flotante and associated pedestrian pathways along Calzada de Tlalpan. Workers are still completing ramps connecting the Jardín Flotante to the Chabacano station on Line 2 of the Metro system, though some sections remain under development. Several pedestrian bridges are being built or painted, including one at Calzada San Antonio Abad and another near Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxóchitl. Some parts of the project are nearly complete, while others are still ongoing. The Secretaría de Obras y Servicios was contacted for updates but did not respond. Currently, four elevated pedestrian crossings are closed due to ongoing work, while three are open but not fully completed.
