In our country, road infrastructure works have become a key pillar to improve mobility, reduce congestion and promote economic development.
Among them, the new section of the Nuevo León Periférico and the Puebla Ecological Peripheral Ring stand out, two projects designed to meet the specific needs of their respective regions. Here we tell you their characteristics, benefits and main differences.
How do they compare in terms of length and connectivity?
The new section of the Monterrey Periférico covers 16 additional kilometers to the existing road network and connects with key arteries such as the highways to Reynosa, Mier, Nuevo Laredo and soon the Gloria-Colombia to Puerto Colombia in Anáhuac, Nuevo León.
Designed primarily to divert heavy cargo transport, this work allows for more agile and safe traffic in the region.
On the other hand, the Puebla Ecological Peripheral Ring has an approximate length of 70 kilometers, surrounding a large part of the Puebla metropolitan area.
Although its initial focus was on improving urban mobility, it also connects with important highways such as the Mexico-Puebla, Puebla-Orizaba and Atlixcáyotl highways, benefiting both local motorists and those traveling long distances.
What impact do these works have on freight transport and daily mobility?
The new section of the Monterrey Ring Road is designed to divert heavy traffic that previously crossed the city, freeing up the city’s main avenues. This not only improves urban mobility, but also reduces logistics costs and wear and tear on the streets, benefiting both motorists and transport companies.
In contrast, the Puebla Ecological Ring Road has a more balanced approach, serving both private vehicles and light and heavy cargo traffic. While it is not dedicated exclusively to freight transport, its design facilitates access to growing industrial parks and commercial areas, such as Lomas de Angelópolis.
How do they contribute to the economic development of their regions?
The new section of the Monterrey Ring Road is positioned as a key piece in the economic boom of Nuevo León, strengthening industrial logistics and attracting foreign investment by streamlining the movement of goods.
In addition, the connection with international routes such as Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo improves the state’s competitiveness.
For its part, the Puebla Ring Road has been fundamental for the development of residential and commercial areas, especially in the south of the city.
In addition, it promotes tourism by facilitating access to destinations such as Cholula and the volcano area, standing out as a means of urban and regional integration.
