Blockades on the Mexico-Cuernavaca highway: traffic conditions during the morning of February 12

Vehicle traffic faced significant complications on several routes across the country on Thursday, February 12. Blockages on the Mexico-Cuernavaca highway and other main roads continued to cause delays for thousands of drivers. Emergency services worked to restore normal flow while attending to car accidents and mechanical failures in different sections.

As the morning progressed, congestion remained at critical points, especially affecting those traveling to the capital and other major cities. Authorities advised motorists to exercise extra caution and consider alternative routes when possible.

Roads with partial closures: main affected routes

Libramiento Poniente Tampico experienced slow traffic in both directions at kilometer 12. A side collision caused intermittent traffic, requiring rescue teams to intervene and clear the area.

On Córdoba-Veracruz highway, the situation worsened at kilometer 16 toward Córdoba. A truck with mechanical issues limited lanes, causing queues that extended several kilometers. Drivers reported long waits in this section.

The Cuernavaca-Acapulco highway also faced a partial closure at kilometer 102 toward Acapulco. A fallen tree on the road forced a reduction in available lanes, forcing vehicles to share less space for circulation.

Normalized situation on the Mexico-Cuernavaca highway: traffic update

The Mexico-Cuernavaca highway managed to restore normal traffic after rescue teams removed a truck with mechanical failure at kilometer 78 toward Cuernavaca. This incident had caused blockages that lasted several hours, affecting drivers using this high-traffic route.

The normalization of traffic in this section was a relief for those relying on this road to reach their destinations. However, vigilance was still recommended on other routes that continued to have limitations.

Factors causing congestion: accidents and mechanical problems

Main causes of blockages included car crashes and mechanical failures of heavy vehicles. In several areas, lane reductions were implemented as containment measures to allow emergency teams to work safely.

Drivers were advised to keep safe distances, reduce speed in congested zones, and consider alternative travel times. Timely information about road conditions was essential to avoid surprises and better plan routes.
