These infrastructure projects are intended to turn Mexico into a global logistics hub. The Mexico-Toluca, Mexico-Cuernavaca and Mexico-Puebla motorways are amongst the projects due to see major progress during 2016. These are being prioritised as they will reinforce cargo transport, increasing exports and logistic connection with ports. In addition, expansion will be carried out at the ports of Lazaro Cardenas, Manzanillo and Tuxpan.
