en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Nuevo León Chamber of Industrial Transformation (CAINTRA) has proposed a cross-institutional coordination strategy aimed at joining forces with the state government, municipal governments, and local councils to restart the road infrastructure project known as the "Northern Triangle." The project plans to modernize and connect the main routes to Laredo, Colombia, and Monclova, as well as ring roads and peripheral expressways, to improve traffic mobility, economic competitiveness, and development levels in the state's key industrial zones.
The "Northern Triangle" region concentrates the most important export corridors in Nuevo León, with approximately $66 billion in goods transported annually by land to the U.S. border. This area brings together a large number of companies and strategic distribution centers, with about 13,000 freight vehicles and 52,000 private cars passing through daily.
Jorge Santos, President of CAINTRA, stated that as long as all parties share a common will and long-term vision, they can set aside political agendas and reach the consensus needed to complete the project. This will effectively address the lagging infrastructure in this industrial hub, which concentrates over 120,000 industrial workers.
The economic and social benefits of completing the aforementioned works are directly reflected in productivity improvements. According to estimates from "How's Nuevo León Going (Cómo Vamos Nuevo León)," road congestion in the northern metropolitan area in 2025 has already resulted in a cumulative loss of over 2.8 million hours of travel time for users. This road paralysis translates into an annual opportunity cost of approximately 241.5 million pesos in lost work hours, with public transport users in the region wasting an average of one week per year due to traffic jams.
