Tenosique - Peten Highway nearly finished

The 20 kilometer section of highway that will complete the route between Tenosique, Mexico, and Flores, Peten, Guatemala will be finished in October or November of this year. Presidents of both countries inaugurated the project in December 2006 but construction only started in December 2007.

This link will allow direct highway travel between the Maya sites of Palenque and Tikal, and promote more invasions and destruction of the biosphere in northern Guatemala. It may also cut traffic to Frontera Corozal and Yaxchilan, depriving Frontera of tourist dollars and drawing attention away from the Usumacinta River.
