Big news, amigos! Ensenada is gearing up for a massive road project that promises to ease your scenic drives while beefing up the job market. The upcoming alternative route to the bustling Scenic Road is not just a pathway; it’s a job creator with over 10,500 positions revving up over the next four years. This was all laid out in a recent morning spiel by none other than President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, as part of her grand National Road Infrastructure Program.
The focus of the program? Connectivity, with a hearty side of community support, especially for the areas that could really use a leg up. With a total stretch of 24 kilometers and a hefty tag of 3.5 billion pesos, this two-lane construction dubbed the ‘Bypass from Tijuana to Ensenada’ is set to begin its life as a pile of studies and projects this coming year.
Why all the fuss? Well, apart from making your trips smoother, these roads are part of a much bigger picture. The government’s shelling out a cool 35 billion pesos in 2025 alone, aiming to bridge gaps between communities across the country. By the end of the term, they’re looking at pouring nearly 150 billion pesos into roadworks that span 263 kilometers, including new bridges and roadways that are sure to make life a little easier for commuters and Sunday drivers alike.
President Sheinbaum was clear: this year’s plans are just the start. With decisions made in the spirit of enhancing connectivity and supporting the less fortunate zones, it’s clear that the wheels are turning towards a more connected and cared-for Mexico.
So, buckle up, Baja residents and visitors! New jobs, smoother rides, and better bridges are on the horizon, making sure that whether you’re headed to the beach or back to the border, the road ahead looks promising.
