Road Closures Persist in Guanajuato, Impacting Several Bajío States

The closures have directly impacted cargo transport, long-distance buses, and inter-municipal travel, complicating transit towards Jalisco, Aguascalientes, and Michoacán, as well as access to the industrial corridors of Irapuato, Salamanca, and León.

According to the official report, the active road blockades with total closure are located at:

• Federal Highway 45D (Irapuato-Salamanca), Km 104, at the “Cerca de Piedra” toll booth.
• Federal Highway 45D (Celaya-Salamanca), Km 72, at the Salamanca toll booth.
• Federal Highway 45 (Celaya-Irapuato), Km 49, at the entrance to Villagrán.
• Federal Highway 45D (León-Salamanca), Km 31+500, at the Salamanca toll booth.
• Federal Highway 45D (León-Salamanca), Km 26+300, at the Cuerámaro toll booth.
• Federal Highway 45 (León-Silao), Km 153, at the entrance to Tajo de Santana.
• Federal Highway 90 (Abasolo-Pénjamo), Km 57, at the “Santa Ana” junction.
• Federal Highway 90D (Pénjamo-La Piedad), Km 36, at the La Piedad toll booth.
• Federal Highway 51 (Guanajuato-Juventino Rosas), at the “Corta a Valenciana” junction.

Additionally, a presence of protesters without total blockade is maintained on Federal Highway 90-D (Pénjamo Northwest Bypass), specifically at the El Carrizal toll booth.

The blockades are led by agricultural producers who demand adjustments to the guaranteed prices for white corn.

According to the movement leaders, the current fixed price does not cover production costs. This has generated discontent among farmers in southern and southwestern Guanajuato. The demonstrations resumed after the failure of negotiations with federal authorities.

Although sector representatives have maintained contact with state agencies, no formal agreement has been established, which could lead to intermittent or prolonged blockades in the coming days.

The road disruptions extend to the logistics corridors of the Bajío, where a significant portion of goods transport circulates, connecting the states of Guanajuato, Querétaro, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, and Michoacán.

State authorities urged drivers to avoid areas with total closure and consult alternative routes through the official channels of the Secretariat of Security and Peace and the 9-1-1 Emergency system.

Traffic reports are updated in real-time via institutional social media and navigation systems, with the aim of minimizing risks and vehicular congestion.

Although authorities have maintained dialogue with representatives of the agricultural sector, there is no certainty regarding the lifting of the blockades.

The lack of concrete agreements maintains the possibility that protests may intensify in the coming days, primarily on federal routes with high commercial activity.

The State Government continues to monitor conflict points and coordinate security operations to ensure free transit once the necessary agreements with producers are reached.
