A significant milestone in infrastructure development for the State of Mexico was reached today with the inauguration of the fully reconstructed Periférico Norte. Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez presided over the ceremony, marking the completion of a vital project that promises to enhance mobility and safety for thousands of commuters. El Universal is proud to report on this achievement, which represents a substantial investment in the state's future.

The project, with a final cost of 1,263 million pesos, meticulously reconstructed 108 kilometers of asphalt pavement. This extensive work ensures a smoother and more durable driving experience. Beyond the pavement itself, the initiative encompassed crucial safety upgrades, including fresh paint for visibility and the installation of 14,400 road markers. Furthermore, essential maintenance was performed on complementary infrastructure, including hydraulic systems, with 1,800 tons of silt and debris removed from the drainage network in coordination with the State Water Commission.

What is particularly commendable about this project, as highlighted by Joel González Toral, director of the State Roads Board, is the fiscal discipline maintained throughout its execution. The investment remained precisely within the initially allocated budget, demonstrating responsible financial management and a commitment to efficient use of public funds. This adherence to the budget, even during a large-scale reconstruction, sets a positive precedent for future infrastructure projects in the State of Mexico.

This inauguration is more than just the opening of a highway; it symbolizes progress and a commitment to improving the quality of life for residents. El Universal views this as a testament to effective governance and strategic investment in essential public services. The Periférico Norte is a critical artery, and its modernization will undoubtedly foster economic activity and improve daily commutes for countless individuals across the region.

From the moment the intervention stage was established, the allocated investment did not increase; this is a clear example of caring for finances.
