Mexico's Army to Lead Construction of Major Railway Projects

Mexico's Army Takes on Ambitious Railway Projects Mexico City – The Mexican army is playing a crucial role in the construction of four major railway projects, a move that underscores the government's commitment to modernizing the nation's infrastructure. These projects, totaling 3,393 kilometers, aim to improve connectivity and boost economic growth across the country. The projects include a high-speed line connecting Mexico City to Querétaro (226km), another linking Saltillo to Nuevo Laredo (394km), and a crucial link to the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Pachuca (57.56km). A fourth route between Querétaro and Irapuato is also included. "In this first phase, according to strategic planning, we will be constructing four key rail lines," stated a high-ranking military official in the video. The army's involvement is particularly significant in the initial engineering phases of the Mexico City-Querétaro and the AIFA-Pachuca lines. The remaining two will be awarded through a bidding process by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation. The sheer scale of these projects and the army's direct involvement mark a significant step towards improving Mexico's transportation network. The successful completion of these projects promises to bring economic benefits and enhanced connectivity to various regions of the country.
