Mayan Train project – Section 5, Mexico
Name of the Project
Mayan Train project – Section 5.
Location
Between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, in Mexico.
Project Owner/s
Fondo Nacional de Fomento de Turismo.
Project Description
The Mayan Train will promote the sustainable and socioeconomic development of the region as well as its communities. The project will significantly improve infrastructure and services for the region's inhabitants and for the more than three-million tourists who visit the area every year.
The project calls for the construction of 60.3 km of electrified double rail tracks. The convoys will be able to reach maximum speeds of 160 km/h. The works will include a 7 km railway viaduct in Playa del Carmen, as well as several wildlife crossings along the overall route.
The new infrastructure will contribute to the rehabilitation of the Natural Protected Areas in Quintana Roo by reducing the volume of polluting emissions. Upon completion, the electric train will take up an important part of the area’s current passenger and freight transportation, which is currently dominated by road transit.
Potential Job Creation
More than 3 000 direct and indirect jobs will be created.
Capital Expenditure
The contract is valued at €713-million.
Planned Start/End Date
The project is expected to take about 31 months to complete.
Latest Developments
None stated.
Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Acciona, in consortium with Grupo México (Section 5 – construction contract).
