# Ciudad Juárez flooding and infrastructure concerns > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/ciudad-jurez-flooding-and-infrastructure-concerns > Updated: 2026-10-23T22:52:46.000Z. Sources: 11. Developments: 2. Persistent water accumulation and flooding have created hazardous driving conditions in several sectors of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. In the downtown area, a water leak on Manuel Bernal Street has submerged large potholes, some exceeding two meters in length, forcing motorists into bus lanes to avoid damage. Additionally, Talamás Camandari Avenue has remained flooded for over a week following recent rains, causing significant traffic congestion as standing water obscures road damage. In response to these complications, political tension has emerged regarding the city’s flood prevention capabilities. Ulises Pacheco, a local leader of the National Action Party (PAN), has called for transparency from the municipal government concerning investments in storm drainage and pluvial works. Pacheco emphasized that under the Municipal Code for the State of Chihuahua, the responsibility for maintaining storm drainage lies with municipal authorities. He is seeking specific details on how funds allocated for the 2026 public works program, including storm management and absorption wells, have been applied. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: Political tension in Ciudad Juárez over flood infrastructure PAN leader Ulises Pacheco is demanding transparency from the Ciudad Juárez municipal government regarding investments in storm drainage and flood prevention infrastructure following recent heavy rains. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-tension-in-ciudad-jurez-over-flood-infrastructure ### 2026-10-19: Water leaks and flooding cause road hazards in Ciudad Juárez Water leaks and lingering floodwaters in Ciudad Juárez are obscuring large potholes, causing vehicle damage and significant traffic congestion on Manuel Bernal Street and Talamás Camandari Avenue. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/water-leaks-and-flooding-cause-road-hazards-in-ciudad-jurez --- Cite as: Ciudad Juárez flooding and infrastructure concerns.
