Previous infrastructure program

In December 2018, President López Obrador announced the 2018-2024 National Highway Infrastructure Program (Programa Nacional de Infraestructura Vial 2018-2024).

This program gives priority for the construction and maintenance of highways to areas of Mexico that currently lack the important highways and highway infrastructure to foster development.

In 2019, the Government allocated 19,000 million pesos for investment projects to improve the conditions of more than 4,200 kilometers of road infrastructure, putting more than 75% of the federal road network in good condition.
