MAZATLAN .- At least 40 percent of the conclusion of the Supervía Matamoros Mazatlán, Sinaloa and Durango are the two states that are attracting more investment and jobs in the country.
The stretch of highway for more investment in the country, in the order of 18 billion pesos is scheduled to be completed in less than a year and a half and therefore investors Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese and Chileans are already settled in Durango, because they anticipate that the road will have a competitive advantage for the oversea axis that will connect Asia and Europe.

"I think the connection is being done, where and progress and is beyond the 60 percent of the construction of road works, provide an opportunity for all states because it is a matter only of Sinaloa and Durango, Coahuila , Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, which is crossed by the shaft, but is the most important connection we have with all riders in the world. "
