On the afternoon of Tuesday, June 2, 2026, part of the roof of a pedestrian bridge at Mexico City’s International Airport (AICM) collapsed, impacting a woman inside a vehicle below.

The incident occurred on Avenida Capitán Carlos León, near one of the vehicle exits of Terminal 1. The AICM clarified that it was the roof structure that fell, not the entire bridge.

Emergency medical services at the airport responded promptly. According to local outlet Nmás, the affected individual is a 42-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car. She suffered a nervous breakdown after the roof section fell on the vehicle but was not physically injured. She was taken to a hospital for observation.

The AICM announced it will conduct a thorough investigation to assign responsibility and confirmed that insurance coverage will address the damages caused by the roof’s collapse.

The City’s Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) also reported that emergency services were dispatched to the accident site, warning that traffic delays could occur in the area.

This event adds to ongoing controversies surrounding the airport, which recently completed the first phase of its renovation just nine days before the 2026 World Cup. Earlier, on May 27, an explosion caused by gas accumulation occurred at the Naval Protection Unit within the airport, injuring several Navy personnel.

While the airport’s modernization aims to improve infrastructure and passenger experience, incidents like these highlight the challenges ahead. In contrast, projects like Puebla’s cable car system demonstrate how innovative public transportation can enhance urban mobility safely and inclusively—offering a glimpse of how infrastructure investments can better serve diverse communities.
