The Mexican Federal Government has announced a MX$37 billion (US$2.13 billion) investment in Baja California's infrastructure, as stated by President Claudia Sheinbaum. Of this, MX$21.41 billion (US$1.23 billion) is allocated for transportation projects, including Tijuana's elevated viaduct, which aims to alleviate congestion in a high-traffic area.

The viaduct, spanning 11.4 km, is expected to reduce travel times from 34 minutes to 12 minutes. The project has generated 6,440 jobs during its first stage. Additionally, MX$16.7 billion will be directed towards water infrastructure, including a new desalination plant in Rosarito, which will enhance water availability for Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
