Major airports are being upgraded and the world\u2019s most important airlines fly into Mexico City and Canc\u00fan, linking them to cities around the globe. Here in the Mexican Caribbean, Canc\u00fan is an increasingly important hub with connecting flights to cities elsewhere in the country and the region.<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s highway network is also being modernized. Examples of major upgrades are the completion of the Merida-Campeche and Mexico City-Tuxpan toll roads and the new Mazatlan-Durango route through the Sierra Madre, which reduces travel times considerably from the Pacific coast to Durango and industrial centers in northern Mexico. This modern highway through the mountains is a feat of engineering and has the Baluartes Bridge, the highest cable-stayed bridge in the world (1,321 feet above the valley floor).<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the task of modernizing the country\u2019s 230,000-mile highway network is huge, as many routes are still unpaved, especially in remote areas.<\/p>\n<p>In May, President Pe\u00f1a Nieto announced an investment plan worth approximately US$587 billion dollars focusing on transport and communication, energy, water supply, health, urban development, housing and tourism.<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Baluartes Bridge photo: Durango Tourism Board<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years the Mexican government has invested billions of dollars in upgrading telecommunications, water, road, rail, airport and port infrastructure to take advantage of the country\u2019s important strategic location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
