The rail and maritime project that will connect to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and will recover several ports has more than half of its general progress.

Along with the Mayan Train, another of the promising projects in the southern region of the country is the Tehuantepec Isthmus Interoceanic Corridor, a complex of railways and ports that will allow economic growth in various areas of Oaxaca and Veracruz.

The infrastructure will have more than a thousand kilometers of railways and will connect the ports of Salina Cruz, Coatzacoalcos, Puerto Chiapas, and Dos Bocas, allowing the commercial and economic opening of this regional section in southern Mexico.

The industrial complex has the goal of recovering commercial and economic zones that have been on hiatus for several years and trying to make the movement of goods around the country more efficient. At the same time, industrial parks will be installed to attract national and foreign investment in these regional poles, among the innovative aspects of the project is that the respective parks will have not only electricity, but also wind power.

The project continues to progress, and the latest reports indicate that the Interoceanic Corridor of the Tehuantepec Isthmus has progressed at 79.39 percent in its focal points, and it is estimated that its inauguration and entry into operation can take place in August 2023, in this way, the CIIT would start up 227 kilometers of roads, 82 bridges and 290 drainage works.
