The undertaking is financed through federal resources allocated for additional priority works across Tijuana’s communities.

“The total investment for the project amounts to 5,380,911 pesos. With these efforts, we are strengthening road infrastructure and tackling one of the community’s urgent needs,” Vargas González added.
