en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Mexican government recently announced plans to invest 41.865 billion pesos in transportation infrastructure construction in the state of Hidalgo over a six-year term, with a focus on advancing reconstruction efforts after the 2025 rainy season. President Claudia Sheinbaum unveiled this plan during an event held in Tenango de Doria last weekend.
President Sheinbaum stated that this investment is part of a comprehensive strategy to address the losses caused by meteorological disasters that affected five states last year. "This is a very significant investment, but it reflects what we hold dear: we will never abandon those who are unprotected, those who need help," Sheinbaum said.
According to Jesús Esteva, head of Mexico's Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation, approximately 5 billion pesos of the total planned investment by 2030 will be executed in 2026 as part of transportation infrastructure reconstruction projects. These specifically include repairing, rebuilding, and expanding 50 bridges across 18 municipalities, as well as carrying out over 1,200 interventions on highways and roads. Esteva explained that these actions are part of a broader transportation infrastructure plan covering road infrastructure, manual roadworks, education, and investments in the Mexico City-Pachuca train project.
The Hidalgo state government reported that for 2026 alone, federal and state funds will allocate over 8.115 billion pesos for reconstruction efforts in the state, following losses suffered by 28 municipalities. Governor Julio Menchaca stated that these resources are already in the execution and bidding phase as part of the recovery work for damaged transportation infrastructure.
Mexico's Ministry of Welfare reported that 7.426 billion pesos in direct social investment support has been provided to the affected population, covering housing, businesses, and resources for agricultural producers. Authorities indicated that the transportation infrastructure projects cover approximately 2,100 kilometers of roads and highways, along with highway expansions and intercity train construction projects, aimed at strengthening regional connectivity and reducing vulnerability to future climate events. President Sheinbaum emphasized that the interventions target not only the recovery of damaged transportation infrastructure but also improving structural conditions in affected areas: "Tenango de Doria, and all the municipalities affected by the rains, will be rebuilt."
