The road is operated by Caminos y Puentes Federales, which charges 195 pesos for the entire course of route.

In Veracruz, exits provide service to Las Choapas and Nuevo Sacrificio.

80 kilometres (50 mi) after passing the first toll plaza at Las Choapas, the road briefly enters the state of Tabasco, where it has one exit, at Malpasito, and a toll plaza.

Highway 187D then crosses into Chiapas, with interchanges at Mexico Federal Highway 187 and a road to Raudales Malpaso, and it traverses the 1,208-metre (3,963 ft) Chiapas Bridge, which spans the Malpaso Dam.

[clarification needed] After the bridge, Highway 187D proceeds southeast, with interchanges at Apic-Pac and Ocuilapa de Juárez, as well as one final toll plaza before it transitions into Highway 190 between Ocozocuautla and Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
