The project is valued at MX$17.8 billion (€713 million) and involves the construction of 60.3 kilometres of electrified double rail tracks where the convoys will be able to reach maximum speeds of 160 km/h. The works will include a seven-kilometre railway viaduct in Playa del Carmen, as well as several wildlife crossings along the overall route. The construction period will extend for 31 months and, once completed, the consortium will be responsible for the maintenance of the infrastructure for another 51 months.
The main objective of Mexico’s Mayan Train is to promote the sustainable and socioeconomic development of the region. The new infrastructure will contribute to the rehabilitation of the Natural Protected Areas in Quintana Roo by reducing the volume of polluting emissions.
