I don't know if it's the right thread to mention it but I saw this video posted in 2014 about the Autopista Atizapán-Atlacomulco who'll provide a faster link between Mexico City metro and Atlacomulco. Had the construction of this freeway had begun?

There's a map showing the approximate proposed routing of this freeway/autopista.

No, this project has been delayed because it "suffered changes in project layout, social conflicts, and investment scheme".  A new contract was signed last Autumn, and the highway is supposedly expected to be finished by August of next year.  Don't hold your breath.

Hope you weren't holding your breath.   :rolleyes:

Quote from: Aleatica, S.A. de C.V. – 26-OCT-2022
(translation mine)

Certain factors, including the recent and anticipated rise in inflation rates in Mexico, have increased the capital requirements needed to complete construction of the remaining phases of the Autopista Atizapán-Atlacomulco. Based on recently revised cost estimates and proposals from third-party contractors, the Company anticipates that approximately 8500 million pesos of future capital funding will be required to complete the project.  Capital funding requirements may be subject to change prior to completion of the highway.

The Company regularly evaluates the capital requirements of its asset portfolio and analyzes funding alternatives as part of its ordinary operation. This analysis considers potential refinancing operations related to AT-AT and Grupo Autopistas Nacionales, S.A. ("WIN" ), as well as the interest that certain third parties have expressed in acquiring a minority stake in Aleatica assets, such as AT-AT, GANA, Viaducto Bicentenario, S.A. de C.V., and Autopista Urbana Norte, S.A. de C.V.

To date, no agreement has been reached in relation to refinancing operations or sale of minority interests in assets, and fulfilment of any potential operation is uncertain and would be subject to holding the pertinent documentation and obtaining the applicable corporate and government authorizations.

The investing public shallll be informed in a timely manner of any relevant transaction, of accordance with the applicable regulation.

The new highway from Guaymas to MX Hwy 16 is almost complete. Followed it on Google Maps satellite view and it appears the final section from San Marcial to Hwy 16 will complete the shortcut. It appears the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Federal governments want to modernize Hwy 16 from the new intersection all the way to Cuautemoc as it's extremely narrow and windy, sort of like Hwy 40 between El Salto and Mazatlan which now has an autopista cuota option. So far the Sonoran government has spent $77.3M USD ($1.5B MXN) to build the new shortcut, while the entire project from Guaymas to Chihuahua will cost $670M USD ($13B MXN).

I just discovered that the gap in Mex Hwy 24 between Chihuahua and Sinaloa was filled in less than a year ago and is fully paved.

Carretera Muzquiz-Ojinaga is getting closer to completion. I found a video from last year on YT saying that it is supposed to be finished by the end of this year, but I have no idea if that estimate is still accurate. Might go check it out once it is for sure complete. Followed it on Google Earth and it starts at San Miguel, Coahuila and will pass through the villages of Santa Fe Del Pino (COAH), Alamos de Marquez (COAH), La Tinaja de Hechiceros (CHIH), and Paso de San Antonio (CHIH) before ending up to Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua.

Currently the highway is paved from San Miguel, COAH to Santa Fe Del Pino, COAH. From there it is 39 km to the border with Chihuahua and only 17 km of the highway are not paved. It is estimated to be $220M Pesos ($11M USD) to complete the highway in Coahuila.

From the Chihuahua / Coahuila border it is 66 km to Manuel Benavides and 60 km of that section are not paved. It will cost $1.2B Pesos ($60.5M USD) to complete the project in Chihuahua.

The article below that shares the details of this project is from August 5th of this year. I also posted a Google Maps link to help guide anyone that's interested on where this road actually is.

There's some ambitious highway plan in Tijuana with a project of an elevated viaduct along with a section tunneled

By watching the satellite shots on ACME mapper and Google maps, the project is already under construction.

That will be great. Are they going to install those ridiculous speed bumps?

I wish I knew.

Meanwhile, here a more recent video showing the construction of that viaduct in Spanish.

I saw a map on this Spanish blog showing where the upcoming Tijuana viaduct will pass over the Mexican customs but it's too bad then there isn't a bigger image of that maps who'll show more details.

That looks cool. It would be nice to see Tijuana develop an elevated freeway system.
