The governor of San Luis Potosí says the state is maintaining 85 infrastructure projects at the same time across its four regions, combining major urban links with road maintenance, rural connections and water and sanitation works.
A statewide portfolio of concurrent works
Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona said construction activity is continuing across San Luis Potosí, with 85 works being carried out simultaneously in the state’s four regions. He said the programme is intended to improve mobility, reduce journey times and strengthen links between communities, urban centres and productive areas. The statement describes a broad public works portfolio rather than a single contract: large transport projects are being advanced alongside road conservation, rehabilitation, pothole repairs and modernisation. The governor said all 85 works were progressing on time and in the proper manner, but the source does not provide independent verification of that assessment or details of the contracts behind the programme.
Bridge and metropolitan links lead the programme
The Puente de la Familia is presented as one of the highest-impact projects. Beams that will form its structure are currently under construction, and the project represents an investment of 350 million pesos and is expected to benefit close to 400,000 users. The portfolio also includes the second stage of the Vía Alterna Sur, between Eje 122 and Eje 140, together with the expected completion of Circuito Oriente. These projects are described as strategic alternatives for easing traffic in the metropolitan area. For suppliers, the transferable point is that a public buyer can manage major new-build schemes alongside smaller or continuing interventions, although this account does not state whether any particular work was procured through an open tender, framework agreement or another route.
Road access and basic services sit alongside new construction
The programme extends beyond urban mobility. During 2026, close to 7,000 kilometres of the state road network have been subject to conservation, rehabilitation, pothole repair and modernisation, while new projects are intended to widen state connectivity. Recent actions include reconstruction of the 18-kilometre Salinas–Peñón Blanco road, which is expected to benefit more than 50,000 residents, completion of the Cómoca–Axtla road and interventions on more than 14 roads in the southern Huasteca. The state also allocated more than 100 million pesos during 2026 to drinking water and sanitation projects in Villa Hidalgo, Moctezuma, Venado, Guadalcázar and Ciudad del Maíz. The road infrastructure maintenance budget increased by 25 per cent, according to the governor.

WHY IT MATTERS
A simultaneous public works portfolio spreads delivery across transport, roads, water and sanitation. The announcement identifies the scale and locations of the work, but not the procurement routes, award details or contract terms for individual projects.
