In 2012, during the administrations of former Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa and Governor Graco Ramírez Abreu, a roadwork project sponsored by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) was approved. The project will widen a 20 kilometer highway through El Tepozteco National Park and the Ajusco-Chichinautzin Biologic Corridor into a four-lane roadway. These areas comprise an area protected by a presidential decree.
