This 1,774 km cross-border route facilitates the movement of goods between two major economic zones, serving as a vital artery for international trade. The corridor traverses diverse terrain from Baja California's coastal plains through the Sierra Madre Oriental, connecting manufacturing powerhouses on both sides of the border.
