The Public Security Secretariat reports in a bulletin that “as a result of a demonstration made up of around 30 people, traffic is closed on Federal Highway 101 Victoria-Matamoros at the entrance to the municipality of Padilla.”
Therefore, it is asking those who have this destination to take extreme precautions to prevent traffic accidents on this stretch of road that connects to the Tamaulipas border with the United States, which has a significant vehicle load due to the early season.
The agency indicates in its report that the contingent is preventing the flow of vehicles in the lanes in both directions at kilometer 47, a situation that is beginning to generate traffic congestion on that part of the highway, since the protesters do not allow the flow of vehicles on this stretch.
The road authority reported that the accident occurred between the entrance to the Los Encinos subdivision
Protesters, who apparently are looking for missing relatives, have blocked the Victoria-Matamoros highway in Tamaulipas.
“A road block is reported on Federal Highway 101 at kilometer 47 of #Padilla, due to a demonstration. Take precautions and consider alternate routes,” warned the Tamaulipas Civil Protection Security Spokesperson.
It adds that personnel from the State Highway Support Guard assigned to the Vicente Norte Safe Station are in the area preserving security and preventing any risky situation from occurring for those who are protesting as well as for drivers who try to circulate through the area.
The State Highway Support Guard reiterates its call to take extreme precautions when driving, since the point where the blockade is being carried out is an area with a high vehicle capacity, which implies that it is dangerous, and there is no precise time frame yet for the resumption of road traffic on the stretch of road.
The Tamaulipas Public Security Secretariat asked the population to stay informed about the development of this situation to avoid setbacks and to know when the artery will have the flow of vehicles and thus avoid conditions that complicate their journey from Victoria to the north of the state.
