More than 1,880 million pesos will be invested in 2025, within the road infrastructure reconstruction program for Guerrero, the head of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT), Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, reported, endorsing the commitment of President Claudia Sheinbaum with the state after the damage left by Hurricane John.
During the morning conference from the National Palace, the federal official reported that the reconstruction works of 63 bridges and 43 road sections in the state network are already underway, of which 36 work fronts are currently active attending the management of these works carried out by Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda.
These actions aim to modernize the road network, make it more resistant and guarantee connectivity in communities affected by natural phenomena such as Hurricane John.
One of the cases to highlight is the construction of the omitlán bridge, in the municipality of Juan R. Escudero, whose original structure was severely damaged by heavy rains.
He said that now a new parallel bridge is being built, with a larger section and designed to withstand storm avenues of up to a thousand years of return, which guarantees its functionality before extreme conditions.
In the federal network, it also advances in the modernization of bridges near Acapulco, such as the Mendizábal that connects to kilometer 21, which will now have two additional axes for a greater capacity for traffic and road safety.
In addition, Esteva Medina announced that the work has already started on the Cuautla-Tlapa highway, with 33 kilometers in the process of modernization and three active fronts that will allow its extension to two and four lanes. Also, on the Salina Cruz – Zihuatanejo, work with 70 workers, 21 machines and four two -lane modernization fronts.

These works will improve connectivity in rural areas and boost mountain development.

This Comprehensive Program endorses the commitment of the Government of Mexico for the transformation of Guerrero and the results of the efforts of Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda to improve mobility, connectivity and infrastructure to boost the development of Guerrero.
