Bolivian highway services and maintenance have undergone various adjustments due to weather and infrastructure projects. Initially, road travel and bus services in regions such as Northern Potosí, Oruro, and La Paz resumed normal operations after being temporarily suspended by snowfall and ice. The Administradora Boliviana de Carreteras (ABC) cleared critical sections of the Oruro–Cochabamba highway to allow for regular departures.

Following the weather-related disruptions, focus shifted to infrastructure maintenance on the Oruro-Challapata highway. The ABC intensified work on the 20-kilometer Cruce Vinto–Cruce Huanuni detour, utilizing heavy machinery to level the road and repair potholes. These maintenance efforts occur amid ongoing contract negotiations for the Oruro-Challapata dual carriageway project, which has experienced delays that have caused dissatisfaction among local commuters.
