El Portal México corresponde con el cadenamiento 654+322.64 del eje izquierdo y con el 754+318 del eje derecho; el portal de salida del túnel derecho está en el cadenamiento 754+729.82 y el izquierdo en el 654+657.
We have seen "cadenamiento" before, but with this code on it ... might it be correct to refer to "station 654-322-64" rather than "stationing 654..." which sounds odd to me.
Then again, I'm not an expert on highways or tunnels.
Standard translations: stationing, chaining.

chainage
I believe this is chainage
A chain is a unit of length; it measures 66 feet or 22 yards or 100 links (20.1168m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong). ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainage
An imaginary line used to measure distance, often corresponding to the centre of a straight road; A distance measured along such a line
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chainage
A length measured by means of a chain or steel tape.

In road design, when the alignment is created, the points on it are given chainage values. Each point on the alignment is given a value which is a linear distance along the curve, from a given starting point.
