The federal government awarded the consortium headed by Comsa Infraestructuras a contract for 2,890,971,095.04 pesos for the construction and design of four stations of the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo passenger train .
According to the tender award document, of the five proposals received by the Agency for Trains and Integrated Public Transport (ATTRAPI) , the winning bid was the only one that was solvent and met all the requested requirements.
Comsa Infraestructura formed the consortium with Regiomontana de Construcción y Servicios, Comsa, and Vise. Work will begin on April 27th , with a completion timeframe of 749 calendar days.
The agency highlighted that the 2026 allocation for this project amounts to 1,116 million 688 thousand 100.40 pesos.
The works encompass the construction and design of the Derramadero, Saltillo, Ramos Arizpe and García stations .
Last February, ATTRAPI declared the bidding process for this project void, as it considered that none of the offers it received met all the requested technical and economic requirements.
The Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo train project involves the construction of a 396.3-kilometer (km) railway line, which will include a section of double track that is not electrified and will operate at a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour (km/h). It also includes the following stations and stops: Derramadero, Saltillo Centro, Ramos Arizpe, García, Las Torres, Salinas Victoria, Bustamante, Lampazos, Anáhuac, and Nuevo Laredo.
