Mexico’s secretary of communications and transport, Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, has confirmed that the second level of Mexico City-to-Tlalpan interconnection road project could be completed by December.

This stretch is part of the Mexico-Cuernavaca motorway improvement project, included in plans by the federal government and the capital's local authority to expand the access to Mexico City.

The initiative is costing around US$1.68 billion and encompasses other motorways such as Mexico-Puebla, Mexico-Pachuca, Mexico-Toluca or Atizapan-Atlacomulco.

Esparza also announced that the construction contract for the Indios Verdes distributor road would be awarded in the near future.

Other access projects are the Atizapán-Atlacomulco motorway, Indios Verdes-Santa Clara road and the expansion of the second level of Viaducto Bicentenario. The elevated motorway connecting Periferico Sur ring road with Mexico-Cuernavaca motorway is scheduled to be complete sometime next year.
