Overview

• SICT enabled a provisional crossing at the Pacayal bridge after more than 40 hours of work by 150 personnel and heavy machinery.
• The Tablazón bridge in Mapastepec collapsed during intense rains, severing the coastal Highway 200 and initially stranding hundreds of travelers and cargo trucks.
• SEDENA activated Plan DN-III-E with Army and National Guard units assisting evacuations, clearing debris, desilting homes and managing traffic diversions.
• Authorities report preliminary impacts across up to 32 municipalities with about 100 homes affected, river overflows, landslides and temporary shelters opened in several communities.
• Traffic is being rerouted through mountain corridors such as Federal 211, where additional slides have slowed movement, and forecasts of further heavy rain keep alerts and response operations in place.
