Mexico to have 13 new highways
By the end of 2014 there will be 13 new highways in Mexico, said Communications and Transportation Secretary Gerardo Ruiz Esparza on Wednesday in Quintana Roo.
The federal government set out to build 46 new highways at the beginning of Enrique Peña Nieto’s administration. There are 26 highways being built that will be completed before the president’s tenure ends.
These works are part of the implementation of the new telecommunications law, which has already proven to be advantageous to society.
Ruiz Esparza and Peña Nieto inaugurated on Wednesday the Nuevo Xcan-Playa del Carmen highway. By December this year, the Salamanca-Irapuato highway, with an investment of 1.2 billion pesos ($93.7 million), the Mazatlán bypass, with an investment of 1.8 billion pesos, the Guadalajara-Colima highway, with an investment of 500 million pesos, and Chihuahua western bypass will be completed, with a 6.4 billion peso investment.
Once those projects come to an end, they will add to the 700 kilometers of new highway infrastructure that has been built in the first two years of Peña Nieto’s administration with an investment of 55 billion pesos. By the end of his tenure, there will be more 3,000 kilometers of new highways.
On Friday, members of the federal government organized a round table for the Mexico Connected program. It is composed of representatives of civil society, scholars and infrastructure experts who will decide in which public spaces in Quintana Roo install broadband Internet.
The aim is to provide all public elementary, middle and high schools in Quintana Roo with Internet access. The program also includes Internet services in universities, clinics, hospitals, libraries and public parks. It is estimated that between March and December 2015, Quintana Roo will install broadband Internet in all the aforementioned spaces.
