Monterrey is connected with the [[United States–Mexico border]], the sea and inland Mexico through different roads, including the [[Mexican Federal Highway 85|Carretera Nacional]] (also known as the [[Pan-American Highway]]) that runs from [[Nuevo Laredo]] to [[Mexico City]] and south, and the [[Mexican Federal Highway 40|Carretera Interoceánica]] connecting [[Matamoros, Tamaulipas|Matamoros]] with the port of [[Mazatlán]] on the Pacific; it is also crossed by [[Mexican Federal Highway 40|highways 40]], [[Mexican Federal Highway 45|45]], and [[Mexican Federal Highway 57|57]].

Monterrey is also connected by at least three important railroad freight lines: [[Nuevo Laredo]]-Mexico City, Monterrey-Tampico, and Monterrey-Pacific ([[Mazatlán]]).
