Mexico’s Nuevo Leon state will benefit from a budget of US$455.4 million for infrastructure works during 2017. However this is a drop of 16% from the budget allotted for 2016. The funding will be split between road maintenance and building new roads, with a key project being work on the Saltillo-Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo road.

Meanwhile the elevated interconnection road linking the Periferico Sur motorway with the Tlalpan toll booth in Mexico City is seen as crucial to helping develop tourism, protecting the environment and cutting congestion in Morelos and Guerrero. The new link will help cut pollution from vehicles in traffic jams and is one of 12 projects intended to improve access to Mexico City. Some $101 million is being set aside by the authorities for building the 5km link, although funding will have to be secured for the remaining 27% of the cost of the work.

And Mexico’s Secretariat of Communications and Transport (SCT) has set a budget of $317.3 million to build and improve rural roads.
