Mexican Federal Highway 45D is the designation for toll highways paralleling Mexican Federal Highway 45. Eleven separate tolled segments exist of Highway 45D between Querétaro City and Villa Ahumada in Chihuahua, between Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juárez.

Querétaro-Irapuato

Autopista Querétaro-Irapuato
Location: Fed. 45 / Fed. 57 in Querétaro City to Fed. 90 in Irapuato, Guanajuato
Length: 104.7 km[1] (65.1 mi)

The toll road between Querétaro and Irapuato is the oldest to bear the Highway 45D designation, opening on February 12, 1962. It is operated by Caminos y Puentes Federales, which charges cars 136 pesos to travel the full length of Highway 45D.[2] East of Salamanca, it meets an interchange that marks the northern terminus of Mexican Federal Highway 43D (Morelia-Salamanca) and the southern terminus of the Salamanca-León highway, also designated Highway 45D.

Salamanca-León

Autopista Salamanca–León
Location: Fed. 45D / Fed. 43D in Cerro Gordo, Guanajuato to León, Guanajuato
Length: 79 km[3] (49 mi)

The Salamanca-León highway picks up where Mexican Federal Highway 43D leaves off at the interchange with the Querétaro-Irapuato highway east of Salamanca; a toll booth, named Cerro Gordo, sits in the northeast corner of the interchange. It proceeds northwest past a toll booth at Mendoza and toward another interchange with Highway 45 north of the city of Irapuato, quickly followed by another with the city's Northwest Bypass, Mexican Federal Highway I-20D. A portion of the routing of Highway 43D here coincides with that originally built for Highway I-20D. After this, the road veers back northwest, with one partially built spur immediately preceding the Puerta Interior toll booth, before ending at Highway 45D on the southeast edge of the León metro. A connection into the León metropolitan street system at Bulevar Delta is currently under construction and likely to open in early 2017.[4]

The 79-kilometre (49 mi) Salamanca-León segment formally opened on September 21, 2015 with a dedication ceremony by President Enrique Peña Nieto. It cost 3.45 billion pesos and is estimated to carry 9,450 cars a day.[5] It is maintained by Grupo México subsidiary[4] Concesionaria Infraestructura del Bajío, S.A. de C.V. and costs cars 43 pesos to drive.[3][5]

Segments of the Salamanca-León highway to be built include urban access to León and a spur to Puerta Interior.[6]
