The contract for this major project contem-
plates the construction, maintenance and
upkeep of the Nueva Necaxa – Ávila Cama-
cho 37 km-long road section in addition to
the exploitation, maintenance, and upkeep
of the Ávila Camacho – Tihuatlán 48 km-
long stretch of the highway.
The novelty of this concession in Mexico is
that it combines an actual toll motorway,
the 37 km stretch, plus the 48 km section
which features payment based on availabi-
lity. This means that part of revenues will be
generated by road users and the remaining
part by the Government of Mexico based
on several performance criteria that the
concession holder must comply with.
Besides the complexity of this highway
which required the construction of 12 tun-
nels, one of which is nearly one kilometre
long, and 10 underpasses, it also had to be
built in record time to expedite the start of
operations.

The Mexican subsidiary of FCC has a
stable presence in this country where it
participates in several major infrastruc-
ture projects, such as the underground
Coatzacalcos tunnel, a milestone pro-
ject that will connect the most impor-
tant petrochemical complex in the state
of Veracruz with the Gulf of Mexico.
