Miami, FL    33122-1205

Re:      MasTec, Inc.
         Registration Statement on Form S-8

To Whom It May Concern:

As Senior Vice-President and General Counsel to MasTec, Inc., a
Florida corporation (the "Corporation"), I have examined the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation as well
as such other documents and proceedings necessary for the
purposes of this opinion.  I have also examined and am familiar
with the Corporation's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, relating to 150,000 shares of the Corporation's common
stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable
by the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation's 1997 Non-
Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").

In rendering this opinion, I have assumed, without independent
investigation: (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted
to me as originals; (ii) the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies
and (iii) the genuineness of all signatures.

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal
considerations which I deem relevant, I am of the opinion that
following the issuance and delivery of the Common Stock by the
Corporation under the Plan, against payment of adequate
consideration therefor to the Corporation in accordance with
the terms of the Plan, the Common Stock will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion is intended solely for the Corporation's use in
connection with the registration of the Common Stock and may not
be relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person.
This opinion may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise
referred to or furnished to any other person, except in response
to a valid subpoena.  This opinion is limited to the matters
stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred
beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  This opinion is
rendered as of the date hereof, and I assume no obligation to
update or supplement such opinion to reflect any facts or
circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any
changes in facts or law that may hereafter occur.

I hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion letter as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Sincerely,
