Representing the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT), Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, inaugurated the International Railway Bridge No. 2 – Nuevo Laredo.
This inauguration is of great relevance due to its commercial importance and the symbolism it has, said Jesús Esteva before the president of Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), Óscar del Cueto Cuevas and the governor of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal Anaya, quoting words from the President of the Republic.
“This bridge is an economic symbol and a symbol of the importance of the Trade Agreement between the three countries (Mexico, the United States and Canada).” This bridge will have the possibility of transporting goods in a faster, more efficient and safer way from the center of Mexico to Canada,” emphasized Esteva Medina.
Building more bridges between Mexico and the United States
The head of the SICT said on behalf of the President of Mexico that these are moments of definition and of adding what has been built in the past with what we will be transforming in the future. All in favor of our people and our development as a region.
The federal official spoke out in favor of the promotion of building more bridges between Mexico and the United States, after adding that the President is convinced that these are times of transformation; they are times of women and now they are also times of trains.
Therefore, the construction of more than 3 thousand kilometers of new railroad lines for passenger trains throughout the country is contemplated to continue consolidating the vision that former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador started.
The head of the SICT took a tour of this new train together with the president of CPKC, the governor of Tamaulipas and the head of the Railway Transport Regulatory Agency (ARTF), Andrés Lajous Loaeza.
In his opportunity, the Head of the ARTF, Andrés Lajous Loaeza, stated that the International Railway Bridge No. 2- Nuevo Laredo will allow for the expansion of trade between Mexico, the United States and Canada through an integrated railway network in the region for greater economic development.
He said that the President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, in her Government project presented as one of the objectives to double the cargo that moves by rail transport in our country, a challenge that can be met by expanding the railway infrastructure, proof of which is this bridge.
The designated ambassador of Canada in Mexico, Cameron MacKay; the general director of the SICT-Tamaulipas Center, Natalia Jasso Vega; the municipal president of Nuevo Laredo, Carmen Lilia Canturosas Villarreal, were present at the event.
