Low temperatures in Nuevo León have caused the temporary closure of several roads that have remained frozen due to the accumulation of ice on the roads, which could cause serious accidents and delays in the journeys of motorists.
Which roads affected by the ice have been reopened in Nuevo León?
After a thorough evaluation of the safety conditions, Highway 58, which connects the municipalities of Linares and Iturbide, has been reopened. This road had been closed due to the ice that had accumulated on the asphalt, but with the joint work of the authorities, its reopening was guaranteed.
Civil Protection of Linares, Civil Protection of Iturbide and the National Guard collaborated to ensure that vehicles could travel safely. The authorities continue to monitor the weather conditions to ensure that the road remains in optimal conditions for circulation.
Which roads remain closed in Nuevo León?
While some routes have already been reopened, others continue to be affected by the phenomena caused by the low temperatures. Specifically, the road to Laguna de Sánchez, near the entrance to El Manzano, remains closed due to the presence of ice on the asphalt.
This stretch has been especially critical due to the accumulation of ice, which represents a danger for all drivers who travel on it daily.
In addition to the conditions on the roads, the low temperatures have also caused the trees in the area to be covered with a layer of ice, although these are already beginning to melt thanks to exposure to the sun.
Despite the improvement in the weather, Civil Protection authorities continue to monitor the situation and evaluate when this road can be safely reopened.
How should motorists act during low temperatures?
Civil Protection authorities in Nuevo León have reiterated the call to drivers to take extreme precautions when driving on the roads during this period of low temperatures.
Ice on the roads can represent a serious danger, so motorists are advised to be attentive to official reports and avoid traveling on the affected routes until they are officially reopened.
