Mexico hands army another highway repair contract due to crime
Mexico’s infrastructure, communications and transport ministry (SICT) handed the army, via defense ministry Sedena, another highway repair project after the site was deemed unsafe for private contractors due to the level of crime.
The project is the second the army will take over due to crime. In April the ministry gave Sedena a 737mn-peso (US$39.7mn) contract to repair 112km of the Tejupilco-Ciudad Altamirano highway, which is in the crime-plagued area known as Tierra Caliente.
According to a report by Forbes México, the new contract involves 212km of the Tuxtepec-Oaxaca highway and is worth 150mn pesos (US$8mn).
The highway stretch is in poor condition and is “considered a high-risk area for the development of works by construction contractors,” says the document cited in the report.
The engineering department of the defense ministry will be in charge of the project, as instructed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
