Overview

  • During an on-site review, President Claudia Sheinbaum said the Buenavista–AIFA stretch will complete civil and electromechanical works in 2025 before trial operations.
  • The AIFA–Pachuca extension stands at 9.3% progress and will add a direct deviation so through-travelers to Hidalgo do not enter the airport terminal.
  • Plans call for a confined, double-track electric line designed for a maximum speed of 130 km/h.
  • Estimated travel times are 1 hour 15 minutes from Buenavista to Pachuca, 1 hour to Jagüey de Téllez, and 50 minutes to Tizayuca.
  • The Agrupamiento de Ingenieros “Felipe Ángeles” reports about 8,500 jobs and more than 750 machines on site, with work continuing despite recent storm-response duties.
