During the festive season, Capufe declares the shutdown of the Mexico-Querétaro route
The Mexico-Querétaro Highway will undergo partial closures from July 4, 2025, to August 16, 2025, as part of a structural rehabilitation project by the National Infrastructure Fund (FONADIN). This maintenance work is intended to improve road mobility in the long run and keep the road in good condition, reduce travel times, improve road safety, and achieve a greater fuel saving for travelers.
During the repairs, only one lane will be available for circulation between "El Colorado" and "Los Cues." As a result, drivers are advised to reduce their speed, pay attention to traffic signals, and consider alternative routes if possible. More traffic and potential increased risk of accidents may occur due to the limited number of lanes during the repairs.
To ensure a safer trip, it is recommended to leave early to avoid traffic delays, consult the condition of the roads, and follow posted detour signs and instructions from road crews. Planning for extra travel time and avoiding peak travel times can also help minimize delays.
For the Mexico-Querétaro corridor, possible alternative routes might include taking federal highways that run parallel, such as the Federal Highway 57 or Federal Highway 45. It is essential to consult a current map or navigation system to find the best alternative route.
Authorities usually provide designated detours and announce them in advance. You may also contact Querétaro’s local tourism or transportation offices for the latest advisory and suggested routes during the closure period.
It is also worth noting that local events and festivals, such as the Feria Saltillo or Fiesta de la Vendimia happening in early July, can cause additional traffic congestion. Be aware of these events when planning your trip.
In the absence of detailed official closure and detour information, monitoring official channels and navigation apps will be essential for smooth travel during the maintenance works.
Stay informed and have a safe journey!

While the Mexico-Querétaro Highway undergoes repairs from July 4, 2025, to August 16, 2025, one may find it beneficial to explore lifestyle alternatives, such as discovering local events, like the Feria Saltillo or Fiesta de la Vendimia, or perhaps delving into the news of travel adjustments in the Querétaro region. On the other hand, if you prefer to stick to your original travel plans, it would be wise to stay updated on road conditions, detour signs, and alternative routes, such as the Federal Highway 57 or Federal Highway 45, to ensure a smooth journey during the highway's structural rehabilitation project.
