Mexican Federal Highway 150D is a toll highway connecting Mexico City to Veracruz City via Puebla City and Córdoba. It serves as one of the backbones of Mexico's toll road system. The road is primarily operated by Caminos y Puentes Federales, which charges cars 520 pesos to travel Highway 150D, with one segment in the Puebla metropolitan area built and maintained by OHL and PINFRA.
Highway 150D from Mexico City to Puebla was formally opened on May 5, 1962, coinciding with the centennial of the Battle of Puebla.
The Puebla second deck opened in 2016, costing 10.5 billion pesos; the lower level is to be converted into a state-operated road with traffic lights.
In Mexico City, Highway 150D begins at the intersection of Avenida Río Churubusco and Calzada General Ignacio Zaragoza, proceeding southeast as the middle lanes of the latter thoroughfare, soon spawning its first federal highway, Mexican Federal Highway 190, which is the non-toll road to Puebla and eventually toward Chiapas. From this point southeast, Highway 150D serves as the boundary between Mexico City and the State of Mexico until it enters the latter completely at its interchange with Avenida Concepción, entering Valle del Chalco Municipality.
Highway 150D bends east near Cerro del Elefante and comes to two consecutive major interchanges in Ixtapaluca, Highway 115 at the Distribuidor Vial Ixtapaluca followed by the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense. The former was dedicated in 2014 after two and a half years of construction with a final cost of 1.3 billion pesos. This area is home to a large concentration of commercial retail, including two shopping malls. Immediately after the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense is the highway's first toll booth, San Marcos. The terrain rises east of Ixtapaluca, and just after its interchange serving Río Frío de Juárez, Highway 150D enters the state of Puebla.
