On August 11, 2026, the governments of Estado de México and Mexico's federal administration completed the paving of the México-Pirámides Highway Bridge, one of the arterials under Plan Oriente, which since 2025 has encompassed 527 kilometers of roads attended, according to El Economista. The road connects municipalities across the region and serves as a regular corridor for tourists and freight transport.

The project is part of the Plan Integral de la Zona Oriente, a coordination mechanism among the three tiers of government to address infrastructure, mobility, health, water, and education needs across ten municipalities in eastern Estado de México. On August 11, Governor Delfina Gómez and Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez led a progress review meeting with members of both the federal and state cabinets and with municipal governments, according to El Heraldo del Estado de México. Participants included SEDATU, SECIHTI, SICT, SEP, Conagua, and IMSS-Bienestar, alongside Estado de México state agencies.

According to El Economista, the bridge paving adds to 527 kilometers of roads attended since 2025, backed by an investment of 174 million pesos and the support of two Paving Trains. For 2026, the road conservation program covers 580 additional kilometers with 213 million pesos, across corridors including Texcoco-Ecatepec and Los Reyes-Texcoco, Route 85 at Venta de Carpio and areas near the Felipe Ángeles International Airport, and routes 132 and 136. The Government of Mexico delivered ten Paving Trains to municipalities including Nezahualcóyotl, Ecatepec, Chalco, and Chimalhuacán. To date, 677,028 square meters have been treated, representing 54 percent of a target of 1,242,506 square meters across 122 roads.

The plan maintains a construction calendar through 2027: road conservation adds 580 kilometers this year and the Paving Trains advance toward a target of 1,242,506 square meters across municipal roads. The inter-institutional review on August 11 covered priority projects by municipality, establishing a benchmark against which to measure progress in the coming months.
