Overflow of the El Pueblito River affects Querétaro-Celaya

The SCT implemented various actions to address the effects on the Highway Network to restore vehicular circulation

After the heavy rains in Querétaro, the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) implemented various actions to address the effects on the toll-free Highway Network, where the El Pueblito River is located.

Due to the overflow of this river, in the municipality of Corregidora, the Querétaro-Celaya highway, operated by Caminos y Puentes Federales (CAPUFE), was affected.

This incident obstructs the loop of incorporation to the South West Bypass of Querétaro towards the metropolitan area, located at kilometer 8, body B, which makes it difficult to incorporate traffic.

For this reason, SCT personnel carry out tours to locate the points where incidents have occurred, in order to restore vehicular circulation.

It should be noted that another of the affected sites that is part of the Network is the Tula River, in the state of Hidalgo, where operations are also carried out for any contingency.
