Mexican infrastructure push: Tlaxcala & Michoacán

Overview

The June‑July wave of public‑works projects began with Tlaxcala’s Turibús launch and continued in Michoacán. After Engineer’s Day on 1 July, Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla highlighted that 95 % of the state’s works are carried out by local engineers and that the historic 24‑billion‑peso 2022‑2025 investment is debt‑free. At the 25th National Road Meeting in Morelia (15‑17 July 2026) he announced a second 50‑km peripheral ring road around the capital, new tele‑cable lines in Uruapan and Morelia, rehabilitation of 2,200 km of highways, and the widening of the Autopista Siglo XXI to four lanes. The Agroexport highway linking Uruapan and Zamora, a toll‑free Maravatío‑Zitácuaro bypass and a total investment exceeding 42 billion pesos were also detailed. Social reforms unveiled at the “Las Mujeres Podemos” convention included an electoral ban on candidates convicted of domestic‑violence, decriminalisation of abortion, and expansion to 127 free gender‑violence support centres. The “Las Solidarias” programme cut teen pregnancy by 29 %, while the D4TA digital‑inclusion scheme will register students in August and provide free 4 GB‑per‑month internet chips in September for all public‑university and high‑school pupils in the 2026‑27 school year. Environmentally, the state aims to plant 50 million trees, adding to the 36.9 million already sown via drone‑seeded protected areas. In late July, Bedolla inaugurated the Ignacio López Rayón overpass in Zitácuaro, part of the toll‑free Maravatío‑Zitácuaro highway modernization. On 29 July, he visited the Morelia teleférico site, noting that heavy‑machinery work on Station 4 and the adjacent Morebús corridor near the Obelisco will be finished by the end of August. Morebús, which includes hydraulic works with Conagua to mitigate seasonal flooding, is about 11 % complete, with two kilometres built and a capacity of over 120 000 daily passengers.
