Delays are affecting a series of PPP road projects in Mexico. Financial issues have been identified as the cause of the delays, most of which are in excess of 12 months. The PPP highways from Barranca Larga-Ventanilla in Oaxaca state, Perote-Banderilla and bypasses around the cities of Chihuahua, Xalapa, La Piedad and Culiacan are all affected by delays. The Barranca Larga-Ventanilla PPP project in Oaxaca state is delayed as the concessionaire Grupo Omega is still in the process of completing its funding for the work.
