Road Construction on Cozumel: private roads, streets and access roads

We build private roads, subdivision streets, access roads and yards on Cozumel as one package, from survey and earthworks to pavement, drainage and signage. Cozumel needs car parks and internal roads for hotels and the cruise terminals, resurfacing of island streets, access roads to villas and condos, and repair after every hurricane season.

A Recrea Construction project
Cozumel, 2026 references: Unpaved access road: $340–$630; Asphalt road, light traffic: $920–$1,500; Asphalt road, heavy traffic: $1,300–$2,200.

What We Build

Private & Access Roads

Access roads to villas, hotels, ranches and resorts, including long runs through jungle with passing places and turning areas.

Industrial Yards & Logistics

Heavy-duty pavements for warehouses, depots, truck manoeuvring areas and loading docks.

Drainage & Infiltration

Crossfall, gutters, kerb inlets and infiltration wells, since most of the region has no storm sewer.

The ground under a road on Cozumel

The island is limestone with thin soil, firm for roads but hard to trench; the coastal areas are sand and coral rock exposed to salt and storm waves. The pavement design and the base thickness are set for these conditions after the soil study, not copied from another site.

Permits for a road on Cozumel

The municipality of Cozumel issues licences; works on the coastal road and near the reef and mangroves face extra environmental limits, and federal zone rules apply on the shore. We map these approvals during design so that construction starts with every connection and clearing authorised.

Rain and drainage on Cozumel

Streets drain to infiltration wells and the sea, and hurricane rain overwhelms many of them; resizing wells and protecting coastal road edges are frequent needs.

Plants, materials and access on Cozumel

Everything arrives on the cargo ferry from the mainland; hot mix depends on local production on the island, and heavy equipment crossings are planned in advance, which explains the higher location factor.
