Mexican Federal Highway 140D is a toll highway connecting Puebla City to Xalapa.

Route description

Highway 140D begins east of Puebla City near Amozoc de Mota and proceeds northeast through Puebla and Tlaxcala, with notable interchanges at Zitlaltepec, Cuapixtla and Libres; this segment was built by OHL 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 cars 139 pesos 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, toll highway 140D and Mexican Federal Highway 140 share the same routing, though 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.
