The Mexican Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation has put into operation the La Florida-Entronque La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Junction section of the new La Varas-Puerto Vallarta Highway, which will allow travelers to save 40 minutes on their trip. Additionally, two other sections totaling 54.4 kilometers are in operation, allowing users to save 55 minutes on their trip. Furthermore, a third section of 86.5 kilometers is under construction and will save between 60 and 80 minutes in travel time, generate 1,500 direct jobs, and 4,000 indirect jobs.

The highway will have 45 bridges, 7 junctions, 3 tunnels and 3 viaducts, and will offer multiple advantages for travelers.
