Central American Road Network

Central American Road Network is a series of international roads connecting the seven Central American countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The network is important to trade throughout the region and the daily lives of the inhabitants. The network is made of the national roads of each country, rural roads, and the Pan-American Highway.^[1]

Central America contains more than 148,000 kilometers (91,963 miles) of road, 6,525 kilometers (4,054 miles) of which are a part of the Central American road network. The network faces many problems including the lack of safety, modernity, and maintenance due to low funding for the network. As of 2025 the Central American Bank for Economic Integration approved funding for projects in the region that modernize the network, including a 2035 master plan which was worked on in collaboration with the Central American Integration System, Japan International Cooperation Agency, and other organizations.^[2][3]
