Mexican Port Project Announced. The Mexican federal government is proceeding with establishing bid specifications for its Punta Colonet container port and rail project. The large infrastructure project would transform a small coastal town 150 miles from San Diego into a port rivaling in size to the capacity-constrained ports at Los Angeles and Long Beach. The project is designed to route cargo from Asia through Mexico to the interior of the United States.
