This cross-border route spans approximately 3,788 kilometers, traversing diverse landscapes and crossing international boundaries to facilitate the movement of goods between North and Central America. The corridor serves as a critical artery for businesses looking to establish or expand their supply chain operations across the US-Mexico-Guatemala axis.
The economic significance of this route cannot be overstated.
