Overview
- El Heraldo’s live tally grew through the day, reaching eight affected roads by 1 p.m. Thursday after three were listed at 5 a.m.
- Maintenance on the México–Querétaro toll road reduced lanes near km 52 toward Mexico City, which caused slow traffic in peak hours.
- Crashes on the México–Cuernavaca corridor toward Acapulco triggered partial closures at km 97 and km 227, adding long delays.
- Veracruz’s La Tinaja–Isla route had partial closures at km 68 and km 89 for crash response, and Mexico–Puebla slowed near km 111+900 by Ocotlán.
- Outlets cite three main drivers of the disruptions—traffic accidents, planned works, and recent protest blockades by farmers and transporters in the Centre–Bajío region—leading to intermittent stoppages.
