Introduction to the Project and Key Participants
In a significant development for the Eastern region of the Mexico State, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez initiated the deployment of three out of ten new Paving Trains. This event marks a historic commitment to support communities in dire need, as part of the Integral Eastern Mexico State Plan.
Project Details
- The project involves the delivery of ten paving trains, representing an investment of 500 million pesos.
- These trains will intervene in 315 kilometers of primary communication routes across various municipalities.
Background on the Regional Importance and Historical Context
The Eastern region of the Mexico State has long been neglected, with its roads and highways in desperate need of improvement. This new initiative aims to rectify this historical oversight by focusing on ten key municipalities: Nezahualcóyotl, Ecatepec, Chicoloapan, Ixtapaluca, Texcoco, La Paz, Valle de Chalco, Chalco, Chimalhuacán, and Tlalnepantla.
The Paving Trains and Their Components
Each paving train consists of five specialized machines: a Fresadora, Rodillo, Petrolizadora, Finisher, and Compactado Neumático. These machines work together to apply and compact asphalt on various roads within the Eastern Zone, which have historically lacked attention and required substantial intervention.
Impact on Local Communities
The deployment of these paving trains will directly benefit the residents of Nezahualcóyotl, Ecatepec, Chicoloapan, Ixtapaluca, Texcoco, La Paz, Valle de Chalco, Chalco, Chimalhuacán, and Tlalnepantla. By addressing the long-standing issues of poor road conditions, this project aims to enhance the quality of life for these communities.
Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez’s Perspective
Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with President Sheinbaum on this crucial initiative, emphasizing their shared commitment to improving the lives of the people in their region.
Job Creation and Training
Alongside the direct benefits to local communities, this project will also generate 150 new jobs. Each individual involved in operating the paving trains has undergone specialized training to ensure efficient and effective execution of their tasks.
Financial Investments
In addition to the 500 million pesos invested in paving train machinery, the Mexican government has allocated further funds for asphalt and operational expenses. For the period spanning 2025 to 2027, an additional 600 million pesos have been earmarked for this project.
