Trucker strike: talks planned, further disruptions possible
Following Monday’s nationwide transport protests, federal authorities and transport representatives are scheduled to begin talks Tuesday on taxation, highway security and infrastructure. El Financiero reported early Tuesday that most Monday blockades had been lifted overnight, although some disruptions remained and further demonstrations were possible.

Nogales and Highway 15D: Sonora and Sinaloa
For travelers crossing at Nogales on Friday, October 30: a trouble-free journey reported earlier this week cannot confirm Friday’s conditions. El Imparcial reported a protest at Hermosillo’s toll plaza 152, on the Nogales side, on Monday, October 26. Its current status has not been verified. Source: El Imparcial.
The Sinaloa government announced on October 25 that participating transport groups had agreed to keep operating and avoid road blockades, with a symbolic Monday convoy in Culiacán. That local agreement is not a nationwide settlement or a live all-clear for 15D. Source: Government of Sinaloa. EFE’s October 27 report describes a divided transport sector, with some groups negotiating and others continuing their protest. Source: EFE.
Member reports: Mark Bec says he crossed Saturday and drove 15D through Hermosillo and Los Mochis without problems, with Mazatlán next and Bucerías planned afterward. His claim that an agreement ended the strike remains unconfirmed nationally. Mark Coats reports driving from Eagle Pass to Ajijic without issues on October 26.

Guadalajara and Jalisco
Industrial representatives warned that demonstrations were expected to continue Tuesday, particularly on the Zapotlanejo highway and the Puerto Vallarta road near La Venta del Astillero. They anticipated intermittent restrictions affecting one or two lanes, with traffic still passing but potentially substantial delays. This is an advance warning, not confirmation of a complete closure this morning. Source: El Informador, October 26, 9:05 p.m.
Central Mexico, Puebla and Veracruz
Early Tuesday reporting identified continuing closures around Plazas Outlet Lerma and La Marquesa on the México–Toluca corridor. Possible renewed protests were also reported for México–Querétaro at Tepotzotlán, México–Pachuca, México–Puebla and Chamapa–Lechería. Those proposed Tuesday actions were not confirmed closures when reported. Source: El Financiero.
Monday-night reports also listed disruptions on Puebla–Acatzingo near Chachapa, Ciudad Mendoza–Córdoba near San Cristóbal, Tehuacán–Oaxaca, Nuevo Teapa–Cosoleacaque and the Cuernavaca bypass. Their current status needs checking before departure. Separately, the Confederación Agropecuaria de México suspended its planned Tuesday agricultural blockades; that announcement does not settle the truckers’ dispute. Source: TV Azteca.
Northern Sinaloa: separate local protest announced
Transport alliances announced a Tuesday protest beginning at 7 a.m. near Vinaterías on the Los Mochis–San Blas road, with possible restrictions of one lane in each direction. This concerns local construction-hauling work. The San Blas named here is in northern Sinaloa, not the coastal destination in Nayarit. The report describes planned action, not a verified current closure. Source: El Debate, October 26.
Other regions
Monday’s demonstrations included slow-moving convoys and gatherings around León–Silao, Irapuato, Morelia, Calera in Zacatecas, Xalapa–Banderilla, Coatzacoalcos–Minatitlán, Villahermosa–Cárdenas and Mérida–Campeche. Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez also saw demonstrations. These are locations reported from Monday, rather than a list of confirmed Tuesday closures. Source: UnoTV, October 27.
