Roads and other infrastructure in the Mexican state of Michoacan will benefit from an US$827.84 million (MXN 11 billion) investment, according to Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transport (SCT).
The huge cash injection includes funds for seven motorway projects worth over MXN 4.7 billion. The Subsecretary for Infrastructure, Raul Murrieta Cummings, has revealed that the expansion of Arco Norte and the western Morelia bypass are also among the earmarked investment projects, as are the Zitacuaro-Valle de Bravo, Atizapan-Atlacomulco, Patzcuaro-Uruapan and Jiquilpan-Sahuayo roads.
Smart Technology Systems will also be installed on the Siglo XXI and Mexico-Morelia motorways. A further MXN 1.3 billion will be invested in 2014 to improve connectivity to Michoacan, including the Patzcuaro-Tacambaro and Uruapan-Zamora roadworks, the north Morelia bypass and the renovation of the Carretera Federal 200 road.
Meanwhile, rural and feeder roads will be built, maintained and modernised with another MXN 500 million, to bring native communities easier access to healthcare and education services.
