Before members of the Infrastructure Commission of the Congress of the Union, where thematic tables of open parliament were held on the National Development Plan 2019-2024, Salazar Moncayo requested that the work be included in the Budget of Expenditures of the Federation ( PEF) for the year 2020.

“The rail network in the northeast area was not completed from Durango to Mazatlan, interrupting the connectivity of the railway arch in the destinations of Empalme, Sonora, and Matamoros, Tamaulipas, which would give life to the Pacific-Gulf of Mexico interoceanic connection,” he said.

“We would put in the example where we are going to request that the Mazatlán-Durango project be evaluated, that piece that is needed, we will have to look for new schemes because all the works are necessary,” he concluded.
