Tamaulipas’ Mante–Ocampo–Tula Highway Nears Completion

The Mante–Ocampo–Tula highway in Tamaulipas is nearing completion, with authorities highlighting its focus on sustainability. The project uses 116,000 m³ of permeable ecological concrete, which promotes water infiltration and reduces pollution.

State Public Works Minister Pedro Cepeda Anaya said the highway demonstrates how infrastructure development can align with environmental responsibility. “Our goal is to modernize the state’s roads while protecting natural resources,” he stated.

Stretching 107 kilometers through the Sierra Madre Oriental, the four-lane highway will enhance regional connectivity and serve as a model for green infrastructure in Mexico.

The project also features an ambitious reforestation plan: 306,000 trees will be planted across 271 hectares, and more than 32,000 native plant species are being relocated to safeguard biodiversity and maintain ecological balance.
