Mexico State Transport Blockades Lifted After Preliminary Accord

A working session is set for January 15 to review the Rutas Hermanas petition with state officials.

Overview

  • Key corridors including the Mexico–Puebla routes, MexicoTexcoco, Mexico–Cuautla and the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense were cleared by midday Tuesday following talks with state authorities.
  • The protest, organized by Rutas Hermanas, denounced robberies and extortion and alleged abusive impound-yard fees, with claims of charges up to 6,000 pesos per day that remain unverified.
  • Traffic disruptions spilled into avenues such as Bordo de Xochiaca and Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, and the Mexibús Chimalhuacán service resumed gradually due to crowding in the dedicated lane.
  • Officials and transport representatives will review the petition in the January 15 working session, with particular attention on alleged corruption in impound practices in eastern Mexico State.
  • No new closures are expected on January 14 as roads have reopened, although reports differ on whether the mobilizations began Monday morning or Tuesday at 9 a.m.
