Oaxaca: Autopista Mitla-Tehuantepec

Country:MEX
Type:FH
Route:190D
Autopista Mitla-Tehuantepec
Length Km:169.23
Location: at San Pablo Villa Mitla to near Tehuantepec, Oaxaca

The westernmost segment of Highway 190D, numbered for the first time in 2017, is currently under construction. It will serve as a major transportation backbone connecting the Isthmus region of the state to the capital of Oaxaca de Juárez. The concession for the 169.23km (105.15miles) highway was initially held by the Autovía unit of Empresas ICA but sold to IDEAL, a Carlos Slim company, in February 2017 after ICA entered into financial trouble, along with the concession to operate the Túnel Diamante in Acapulco.[1]

Highway 190D currently exists as two unconnected roads. The western segment connects San Pablo Villa Mitla to Santa María Albarradas. The eastern segment of 40km (30miles) opened in March 2016 and connects Mexico Federal Highway 185D, the bypass of the Istmo region, to Santiago Lachiguiri.[2]

When complete, this highway will have 66 bridges and three tunnels, and it will provide an estimated time savings of two hours compared to Mexico Federal Highway 190 along the same route.[3] As of April 2023, completion is expected in July 2024.[4]
