Highway system

Federal Highway 140D (La Carretera Federal 14d) is a toll (quota) part of the federal highways corridors (los corredores carreteros federales) that connects Puebla City to Xalapa.

Route description[edit]

Fed. 140D begins east of Puebla City near Amozoc de Mota and proceeds northeast through Puebla and Tlaxcala, with notable interchanges at Zitlaltepec, Cuapiaxtla, Libres and Tepeyahualco; this segment was built by OHL[clarification needed] and costs 127 pesos to travel in its entirety.[3] It enters Veracruz near Perote, after which maintenance is taken over by Copexa. Copexa charges a toll of 139 pesos per car for the segment between Perote and Banderilla,[4] which passes through Las Vigas de Ramírez, and another 139 pesos for the following segment, the Libramiento de Xalapa, which bypasses the city altogether. For a short portion east of Xalapa, Fed. 140D and Fed. 140 share the same routing, though Fed. 140D returns to bypass Plan del Río, a tolled 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) segment that charges users 40 pesos[5] and is operated by Concesiones y Promociones Malibrán, S.A. de C.V.
