The National Guard reports road closures on highways in Puebla and Tlaxcala on November 25, 2025, due to truckers’ protests. The blockades are primarily affecting the Arco Norte bypass in Puebla and the Los Reyes-Zacatepec highway in Tlaxcala, with partial and total closures in both directions.
The protests continue following the national strike called on November 24 by the National Association of Truckers (ANTAC), the National Front for the Rescue of the Mexican Countryside, and the Agricultural and Peasant Movement. The protesters are demanding increased highway security and fair prices for agricultural products.
The Arco Norte bypass is partially closed at kilometer 226+600, according to the National Guard report issued at 7:03 a.m. This road connects important industrial corridors and is a key route for freight transport.
The Santa Bárbara highway, Jantetelco-Izúcar de Matamoros section, remains partially closed at kilometer 108+000. This secondary road is affecting regional mobility in southern Puebla state, impacting the local transport of agricultural products.
The Los Reyes-Zacatepec highway is completely closed in both directions at kilometer 71+500. A second point on the same highway, kilometer 161+200, is also completely closed, according to reports from the National Guard updated at 6:40 a.m.
These blockades are affecting connectivity between municipalities in Tlaxcala and limiting access to surrounding communities. Authorities recommend that motorists avoid the area and use alternate routes.
