Anyone know anything about this project?
Massive Investment in Tulum Infrastructure
http://www.investmentpropertiesmexico.org/2009/07/massive-investment-in-tulum.html
The company of Mexican businessman, Alfonso Romo, has beaten more than 20 other companies to win the contract to build a new highway bridge in Tulum on the Riviera Maya, said Mexican newspaper, El Semanario, last week.
The bridge forms another part of the major infrastructure investment taking place in the area, along with the new Riviera Maya international airport and fast coastal highway routes.
The paper said that Romo's company Proyectos y Desarrollos de Infraestructura, the construction arm of Grupo PDI, won the contract for around $11.1 million.
Romo was previously in the Forbe's "Rich List" and has owned companies Cigarrera La Moderna (now BAT México), Seguros Comercial América (now AXA insurance) and Seminis (now part of Monsanto).
Work will start on the bridge next week and will take until the end of 2010 to complete.The article was from mid-July, so any work would now be evident (if it actually did begin). Has anyone seen any evidence? I guess with the new municipal structure, this could be anywhere from Akumal to south of Tulum, but I keep wondering whether there's a plan to put in a cloverleaf at the intersection of 307 and the Coba Road.
