Quintana Roo Truckers Threaten to Block All Four Lanes of Cancún’s Boulevard Colosio

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Truck drivers in Quintana Roo warned they will block all four lanes of Boulevard Colosio in Cancún on Tuesday if the state government does not respond to their demands, and said they will press ahead with the measure even if authorities threaten them.

In a video circulating among the group, one driver said the protests will continue because officials have not answered their grievances, and warned that the action will escalate into a full closure of the roadway.

“If the government threatens us, if they intimidate us, we will completely block all four lanes. We are truckers,” he said, stressing that the demonstrations so far have been peaceful.

The warning follows Monday’s protests, which disrupted traffic across Quintana Roo and delayed flights at Cancún’s airport. By the afternoon, authorities reported that the affected highway points had reopened, but the drivers’ movement continued without any definitive agreement on their demands.

The Federal Public Security Department (SEGOb) reported 38 demonstrations in 19 states on Monday, part of a nationwide truckers’ stoppage over insecurity on the roads, extortion and taxes.

Commuters brace for disruption

Boulevard Colosio is one of Cancún’s main arteries, linking the hotel zone and the airport with the rest of the city, and a full closure would ripple through traffic across the resort destination.

The drivers said they will decide on the blockade depending on whether they receive a favorable response from the Quintana Roo government, which has not publicly commented on the threat.
