Mexico advances construction on Querétaro-Irapuato and Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo passenger trains

Mexico is advancing construction on two key passenger train lines: Querétaro-Irapuato and Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo. Andrés Lajous, head of the Agency of Trains and Integrated Public Transport, detailed the progress during President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's press conference.

The Querétaro-Irapuato project involves significant work, including 48 kilometers of land clearing and the establishment of a maintenance base. Earthworks have been completed on 25 kilometers, and nine drainage structures are in progress. Work has also begun on the Celaya station and the line's maintenance base, with the freight bypass railway already finished.

For the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo line, 178 kilometers are undergoing land clearing and deployment, with 31 kilometers of earthworks and 48 drainage structures underway. Lajous also highlighted archaeological and environmental efforts, including the rescue and relocation of flora and fauna.

These projects are part of Mexico's broader transportation infrastructure development, aiming to improve connectivity and public transit options across the country.
