How Mexico is Creating Its Own Canal: The Trans-Isthmus Corridor

Mexico is embarking on an ambitious infrastructure project that could redefine global trade routes—the Trans-Isthmus Corridor. Often referred to as Mexico’s version of the Panama Canal, this initiative aims to connect the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean via a modernized railway system across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This project promises to enhance Mexico’s role in international commerce, boost economic growth, and create new trade opportunities.
