Ten national corridors linking 33 Mexican cities, about 9,000 km measured city to city in straight lines (about 10,800 km built, at a route factor of 1.2). Five links join the network to the United States, and one runs south from Tapachula to Guatemala City.
The Network Concept
Ten corridors, border to border.
The network covers the Pacific coast to Guadalajara, the central corridor from Ciudad Juárez to Mexico City, the north-east from Nuevo Laredo, the Gulf and Yucatán to Cancún, the Bajío, the south to Tapachula, and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec between Coatzacoalcos and Salina Cruz.
MMC Mexico network concept, schematic. Dark lines are Mexican national corridors; grey lines are neighbouring national corridors; gold lines are cross-border links. Routes are indicative.
Routes are indicative. Corridors are drawn city to city, through the cities on the existing railway wherever a line exists: MMC corridors follow those lines, upgrading the line or running above it on viaduct. Where no line exists, the corridor is new build. Final alignments are set at detailed design by terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and agreement with neighbouring nations.
Engagement
