Avaris (city)

The City of Avaris is a planned and under construction 21st century metropolis being built in southern Yucatan state along the Pacific Ocean coast. To the northwest of the city site is the already underway Yucatan Border Canal and currently near completed Fort Avaris Naval Station. The city when completed will be capable of housing several million inhabitants with room to expand to house well over a dozen million people.

Construction
The current construction underway includes the subway transit systems, utility lines, pipes and electrical grid, major street routes and the foundations of landmark structures planned to be built at the later time. Because Avaris is a coastal city, it is being featured with an anti tsunami barrier system which will retract into the ground when not deployed. Several major routes have undergone restoration to expand the former Mexican route "Libramiento" into an eight lane interstate highway renamed I-740. State routes 90, 110 and 157 have also been constructed. 90 and 157 head north to the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez. While 110 heads northwest into Mexico, crossing the Yucatan Border Canal underneath in a tunnel. 110 heads southeast along the coast until eventually reaching the city of Tapachula de Cordova y Ordonez.
