What Does the Interserrana Highway Signify for the Development of Southern Nuevo León?

The Governor of Nuevo León, Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda, confirmed that the Federal Government granted the environmental permit and registration with the Ministry of Finance’s Investment Unit, the final requirements necessary to commence Section II of the Interserrana Highway, one of the state’s strategic connectivity projects. The governor thanked President Claudia Sheinbaum, as well as the Secretary of Environment, Alicia Bárcena, and Ileana Villalobos, for expediting the essential authorizations needed to proceed. “Interserrana takes flight. I want to thank the President for making this a presidential project, the Ministry of Finance for registering it, and especially SEMARNAT… With all these approvals, we are launching Interserrana”, stated García Sepúlveda upon leaving his meeting in the nation’s capital.

A Strategic Highway for Mobility in Southern Nuevo León

The Interserrana Highway is a multi-year, 87-kilometer A4-type project designed to enhance between southern Nuevo León and the northern border, eliminating the need to traverse other states. The project will connect Highway MEX-057 (Matehuala–Puerto México) with Highway MEX-085 (Ciudad Victoria–Monterrey), passing through the municipalities of Galeana, Linares, and Montemorelos.

Key Features of the Project

Four traffic lanes
Shoulder lanes
Tunnels
Bridges and emergency ramps
Tourist rest stops
Direct flow to the border via Puerto Colombia, within state territory

The total project is divided into three sections:

Section	Length	Status
Section I	15 km	Under development
Section II	38 km	Already has federal permits and registration to commence in December
Section III	26 km	Scheduled for a later phase

Section II, authorized by the Federation during this visit, represents the most extensive segment of the highway.
