A new road closure was reported by the National Guard in the northern part of the state, this time on the Poza Rica–Veracruz highway, at kilometer 63+000, where traffic was completely halted due to the presence of people at the scene.
According to federal authorities, this point is located on a strategic stretch connecting the city of Poza Rica with the port of Veracruz, passing through municipalities and areas with constant traffic such as Papantla, Gutiérrez Zamora, Nautla, and Vega de Alatorre, so the disruption is impacting regional mobility.
Through its digital platforms, the agency reported that the closure remains in place as a preventive measure, and urged the public to take precautions, use alternate routes, and drive with extreme caution in the area.
