Nuevo Leon Drives Green Corridors for Sustainable Logistics

Nuevo Leon’s Green Corridors project has achieved major advances in its goal to strengthen North American connectivity, attract investment, and accelerate the transition toward sustainable logistics, reports Governor Samuel García.

According to García, this project is part of a broader infrastructure strategy that has driven record-breaking investment in Nuevo Leon, totaling US$101 billion to date,  supported by MX$180 billion (US$9.81 billion) in state public works and MX$150 billion (US$8.18 billion) in federal funding, resulting in unprecedented economic activity and job creation.

The plan includes the construction of a 250km viaduct linking Monterrey to Laredo, already approved by both the White House and Mexican authorities, with an estimated investment of US$17 billion, of which US$11 billion will be developed on the Mexican side.

“We have built a logistics vision similar to Texas, planning highways 30 years ahead to give investors legal certainty,” says García.

Among the state’s recent achievements are the construction of seven new highways, including the Gloria-Colombia route, which directly connects Monterrey to Texas without passing through Tamaulipas. This strategic corridor has increased freight traffic eightfold, turning the previously underused Colombia customs port into Mexico’s second most profitable border crossing.

The logistics modernization has fueled foreign investment 10 times higher than the previous administration’s record, says García, with two to three new companies opening each week and the creation of over 400,000 jobs.

Through Green Corridors, Nuevo Leon seeks to position itself as a key player in North American trade, integrating green logistics, sustainable transportation, and advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and reduce emissions across the supply chain.
