Overview
- The federal government launched phase‑two licitations for passenger corridors, starting with the Querétaro–San Miguel de Allende tranche set to begin on June 26, 2026, with further contracts to follow in a staggered schedule.
- Project construction is active: the Mexico–Pachuca corridor is about 37% complete and the Mexico–Querétaro corridor is roughly 19–20% complete, with multiple civil‑works fronts building viaducts, terraplenes and drainage.
- Authorities report the first electric passenger unit for the AIFA–Pachuca service has finished manufacture and is due to arrive in Mexico in late July, while the CDMX–Querétaro service is targeted to enter operation in 2027.
- Federal and State of Mexico agencies signed a coordination agreement for land use and station‑area planning around four State of Mexico stations, and officials say more than 28 million square meters of right‑of‑way have been secured across thousands of properties.
- Freight work tied to the program is progressing in parallel: Tren Maya cargo terminals are about 54% complete and are planned to begin initial operations by the end of 2026, creating new logistics nodes and fuel supply links for the region.
