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.
