en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexico is advancing a bridge construction plan valued at approximately $1 billion (18.077 billion pesos) as a core component of its six-year transportation infrastructure strategy, aimed at improving connectivity and boosting regional economies. The plan encompasses 29 kilometers of new bridges and overpasses, with a focus on alleviating urban congestion.
Recently, a key project in Mexico's bridge construction initiative, the Nichupté Bridge in Cancún, was officially inaugurated. Spanning 11.2 kilometers, it is the second-longest bridge over water in Latin America, with an investment of 10.319 billion pesos. Connecting residential areas to the hotel zone, it reduces travel time from one hour to just 10 minutes. The bridge features three lanes and a bicycle path, with a daily traffic capacity of 12,000 vehicles, and can also serve as an evacuation route. Jesús Esteva, head of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation, stated: "When we set aside the numbers, the pride in executing projects stems from a profound and ultimate sense of service, which is the guiding principle of the team spirit in the Fourth Transformation's construction efforts."
Also part of Mexico's bridge construction efforts, the Amado Nervo Bridge is currently under construction, with progress reaching 69.86% and an investment of 930 million pesos. This 2-kilometer-long bridge, upon completion, will reduce travel time between Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta by approximately 25 minutes, benefiting around 480,000 residents. The project is scheduled for completion in July 2026, creating 2,700 jobs during construction, with an expected daily traffic volume of 20,000 to 21,000 vehicles.
These two projects underscore Mexico's emphasis on expanding its transportation infrastructure, with bridges playing a strategic role in improving connectivity, facilitating trade, and driving economic development.
