Thank you so much Jamie!...oddly enough, I usually translate "trafficking" but given the U.S. connection, "running" seemed to come naturally on this occasion. :-)

drug traffic highway

También: drug highway or drug passage, depende del contexto cultural donde vaya dirigida la frase.

centre (center) for drug trafficking

C. Juárez is one of the most active centres for drug trafficking between Mexico and the United States.

It's not a literal translation of 'corredor', I know, but to me a 'corridor' is a route, a channel and therefore is generally applied to a journey between various points, not specifically to a city.

Others may disagree!
