Overview

• CAPUFE reports ongoing lane reductions on the México–Cuernavaca highway at km 73 toward Mexico City as crews remove a crashed unit.
• On the Cuernavaca–Acapulco route at km 95 toward Cuernavaca, a tractor-trailer mechanical failure prompted a partial closure and slow movement.
• The Guardia Nacional says lanes on the Puebla–Córdoba highway near km 227 toward Puebla are now clear after an earlier crash.
• Despite attention to an accident, the Acatzingo–Cd. Mendoza corridor at km 227 toward Acatzingo remains heavily congested with CAPUFE and GN conducting a traffic operation.
• Additional impacts include an accident near Tuxpan–Tampico toll booth 49 at km 191+800, maintenance-related lane reductions on Nuevo Teapa–Cosoleacaque, and partial closures reported on Isla–Acayucan and Aguascalientes–Zacatecas.
