Did you know... that construction of the Macrolibramiento Palmillas-Apaseo el Grande highway was delayed by difficulties acquiring rights of way, rising material costs, and intermittent funding from the Mexican government?

In particular, as a person who can (with difficulty) read some Spanish, I was puzzled by the word "macrolibramiento". I checked, and there are no online translations of it--if I had found one I would have edited the page myself. Anyone actually know what it means? "Libramiento" is sometimes translated as "bypass." Is the macro-prefixed version "big bypass" or something?
