The Easter and Holy Week holiday period is still ongoing, so one of the busiest routes is the Durango-Mazatlán Superhighway, as the Mazatlan port is the main destination for those leaving Durango for vacation.

For this reason, POSTA has issued various recommendations and the risks of traveling on this highway, such as the dangers of passing through the tunnels located on this road.

What type of wildlife can appear on the Durango-Mazatlán Superhighway?

Being an area surrounded by nature, in addition to being located in the Sierra Madre Occidental, which lies between the states of Durango and Sinaloa, encounters with wildlife are more common than one might think when traveling on this highway.

Some of the animals that may unexpectedly appear on this road are:

Wild boars
Deer
Coyotes
Raccoons
Rabbits
Opossums

What other recommendations are there for traveling on this highway?

Considering the appearance of animals on the Superhighway, you must respect the speed limits to be able to maneuver in case one of them unexpectedly appears on the asphalt.

If you want to check the status of the road, you should check the CAPUFE profile ‘X’, as they have the number to inquire about road incidents, as well as updates on any road closures.

The Superhighway is always under surveillance.

In the event of any type of mishap with wildlife that appears on the Superhighway, or even a vehicle accident, you should call 088, which is the number of the National Guard, which monitors the road with units along the highway.
