According to the Mexican Transport Ministry (941 SCT Mexico), no road projects have been halted despite the economic crisis. The Mexican Transport Ministry's plans are to hand out 54 road concession projects during 2010, worth a total of US$1.45 billion. This represents an increase of 8.7% over 2009. Of the 48 projects in the pipeline at present, 21 are under construction, six have been awarded already and five are open to tender. Meanwhile the Mexican Government is working with concession holders for a further 12 highway projects. The 230km Durango-Mazatlan road is one of Mexico's key projects underway at present and is due for completion in 2012. Companies working on the Durango-Mazatlan road include 1340 FCC Construcción and 3277 Grupo Aldesa.
