The construction of the Nichupté Vehicular Bridge, a flagship project of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transport (SICT) in Cancún, Quintana Roo, and which will provide access to the hotel zone of this major tourist destination, benefiting 1.3 million residents, has reached 77.8% completion.
The bridge has a total length of 11.2 kilometers, connecting Cancún’s hotel zone with Boulevard Colosio and Tulum, Kabah, and Bonampak Avenues.
It consists of an 8.8-kilometer bridge; a 103-meter metallic arch; two access interchanges measuring 2.4 kilometers—one connecting to Boulevard Luis Donaldo Colosio and another to Boulevard Kukulcán—as well as a bike lane, pedestrian walkways, bus stops, and a lighting system.

The freight infrastructure will be built in two stages over a period of two years and six months, generating 26,200 direct jobs.
It will have intermodal terminals in Poxilá and Progreso, Yucatán; Cancún and Chetumal, Quintana Roo; and Palenque, Chiapas, which will serve as a connection point with the Interoceanic Train.
The Felipe Ángeles Corps of Engineers of the Ministry of National Defense will be responsible for constructing the Maya Train’s freight infrastructure, a project that will be linked to the development of the Port of Progreso, whose expansion is under the supervision of the Ministry of the Navy. Additionally, a station will be established in Palenque to connect with the Interoceanic Train.
