Durango State of Mexico

Durango, officially Free and Sovereign State of Durango, is a state in northwest Mexico. With a population of 1,632,934, Durango has Mexico's second-lowest population density, after Baja California Sur. The city of Victoria de Durango is the state's capital, named after the first president of Mexico, Guadalupe Victoria.

South of town, it is joined by Highway 49 heading into Gómez Palacio. While the primary designation toward Cuéncame, and on the Gómez Palacio beltway, is Mexican Federal Highway 40D, it is co-signed with unique 40/49D signage, as Highways 40 and 49 also share routing for more than 100 kilometers. The 40/49D designation runs past León Guzmán and ends at the Cuéncame toll plaza (as Highways 40 and 49 split as well in that area), with Highway 40D continuing to Durango.

Federal Highway 40D is the designation for toll highway paralleling Mexican Federal Highway 40. Highway 40D connects Mazatlán, Sinaloa to Reynosa, Tamaulipas. It forms most of the highway corridor between Mazatlán and Matamoros, Tamaulipas, one of 14 major highway corridors in the country.
