During the Mexican President’s press conference, the Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation, Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, reported on the progress of priority projects in the State of Mexico, highlighting the modernization of the Toluca-Zihuatanejo highway.
The highway spans 372 kilometers. The Toluca-Temascaltepec section, a 38-kilometer stretch, is slated to begin this year, with work starting in May once right-of-way acquisition and preliminary works are completed.
As part of a national development vision, the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, with the support of Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez, is promoting strategic road infrastructure projects in the State of Mexico to improve mobility and enhance the quality of life for families in the state.
The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation is also overseeing the reconstruction of the Alameda Oriente Bridges. The first bridge is nearing completion in its foundation stage and is projected to be finished in October of this year. The second will be completed in 2027.
In the northern part of the state, construction of the Atizapán-Atlacomulco highway is progressing and will reduce travel times, as well as strengthen connectivity and regional economic development.
The progress of these projects reflects the State Government’s commitment to transforming the State of Mexico with modern, efficient, and safe infrastructure, in coordination with the Federal Government.
Esteva Medina noted that the Alameda Oriente Bridge is making significant progress, with foundation work in its first phase and prefabricated elements ready for assembly.
It is estimated that the first bridge will be completed in October of this year, while the second will be finished in 2027, which will significantly improve mobility in the Valley of Mexico. Similarly, construction of the Atizapán-Atlacomulco highway is progressing, a priority project that will strengthen mobility in the northern part of the state, reducing travel times and boosting regional economic development. These actions reflect the commitment of the Government of the State of Mexico to make 2026 the Year of Works, and thus consolidate, hand in hand with the Government of Mexico, a modern, efficient infrastructure at the service of the people of the State of Mexico.
