The Cuscatlán Bridge, where the Pan American Highway crosses the Lempa River, was the main thoroughfare for travel between eastern and western El Salvador at the time of its destruction by guerrillas in January 1984. In 2000, registered passenger vehicles numbered about 54,088, and commercial vehicles numbered 80,652.

Railroads:

El Salvador had 562 km (349 mi) of public-service railroad tracks in 2002. The major domestic rail lines are operated by the National Railway of El Salvador, which was formed in 1975 by a merger of the Railways of El Salvador and the US-owned International Railways of Central America.

There are rail connections to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, which, under an agreement with the government of Guatemala, provides El Salvador with a port on the Caribbean. Another line runs west from La Unión/Cutuco to the El Salvador Guatemala border, providing a rail link to Mexico. The entire rail system is narrow gauge and single track.
