At the request of the comments and complaints of the industrialists that make up the North Council of CAINTRA Nuevo Leon, regarding the excessive traffic on the highways to Laredo, Colombia and Monclova when entering the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, the Chamber has initiated a series of meetings with authorities of the three levels of government involved in the mobility of people and goods.

As a first approach, a delegation of businessmen from the North Council, headed by José Antonio González, President of this CAINTRA group, and Jesús Guzmán, President of the Transportation Commission, met with the Delegate of the Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation in Nuevo León, Blanca Aburto, as well as with the State Coordinator of the National Guard in the state to expose the problems and risks associated with the increase of traffic on highways in the northern zone of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area.

Los empresarios que integran el Consejo Norte, destacaron cuatro puntos de interés en las carreteras de la zona: • Punto 1: En la incorporación de la Carretera Monterrey - Nuevo Laredo y la Autopista Monterrey Nuevo Laredo. • Punto 2: En el cruce de la Carretera Nuevo Laredo-Monterrey y la Av. Sta. Rosa – Salinas Victoria. • Punto 3: En la Carretera Nuevo Laredo – Monterrey, al entrar al Libramiento Noroeste. • Punto 4: En el cruce de la Carretera A Monclova y el Libramiento Noroeste.

At the meeting, it was agreed with the SICT delegate that inspections will be carried out on the stretches under federal jurisdiction to determine their inclusion in their program of conflictive points and to allocate a budget for their resolution. In the following weeks, the Northern Council delegation will meet again with the authority to follow up on the issue.

On the other hand, the National Guard Coordinator in Nuevo Leon was informed about the security situation on the highways and the need for the presence of elements of this institution. It was agreed to maintain greater communication with the National Guard for reporting, as well as to increase the presence at the points of greatest traffic.

In the coming weeks, CAINTRA will meet with the municipal and state authorities involved in these road sections to raise their concerns and problems, seeking a solution.
