The 17th federal electoral district of the State of Mexico (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 17 del Estado de México) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 40 such districts in the State of Mexico. It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region. Suspended in 1930, the 17th district was re-created by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, the State of Mexico's seat allocation rose from 15 to 34. The new districts were first contended in the 1979 mid-term election.

The Puente Ingeniero Ernesto Uriegas, best known as the Puente de Fierro (English: Iron Bridge), is a twin-span bridge found along Vía Morelos Avenue, in San Cristóbal, Ecatepec de Morelos, State of Mexico. The bridge was built to cross the Gran Canal del Desagüe (Grand Sewage Canal) that surrounds Mexico City. The origins of the construction of the bridge tend to differ depending on the source as there are few records of the bridge beyond undated pictures. One of the stories says that it was completed in 1896 to be operated by the National Railroad Company. There is also a persistent legend about its origins that mentions that Gustave Eiffel, at the request of president Porfirio Díaz, designed the bridge in the 1870s. It was later adapted into a provisional vehicle bridge and eventually replaced with an adjacent larger vehicular bridge. In 2000, the local government remodeled the space into a museum, which would last 16 years. Since then, the bridge has been abandoned and has received partial maintenance.
