On Thursday, November 21, CAPUFE reported road damage at kilometer 96 of the Mexico-Querétaro highway due to a crash. The agency detailed that there is intense vehicle load due to lane reductions for authorities to attend to the accident.
At around 1:00 p.m., it was reported that from kilometer 186 to 194, in the direction of Querétaro, lane reductions continue due to maintenance work.
Social media users reported being stopped for up to eight hours at the height of Tepotzotlán and Izcalli. “Do you have an estimated repair time? There are sick people and babies trapped there!” wrote Julio Saenz.
Another user mentioned that the stoppage on the highway began on the night of Wednesday, November 20. “Since 09:00 pm we have been stopped and this is not progressing, really the National Highway Guard did not happen when the federal police were there.”
“We have been stopped for 8 hours. I don’t see what operation!!! It is simply a parking lot… I have passengers with delicate health and we have no food, water or medicine,” shared another user on ‘X’.
Authorities are working to resolve the situation and restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
