Mexico’s dry canal project is changing the future of global trade with a land bridge designed to connect the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, known as CIIT, is creating a new logistics route without building a traditional water canal.
The idea sounds unusual. Ships will not pass through locks or artificial waterways. Instead, containers will move between ports by rail, crossing southern Mexico in a faster multimodal transport system. This ambitious plan could reshape supply chains by giving companies another option beyond the Panama Canal.
