Roadblocks and local disputes in Mexico

Overview

In early September 2026, various road closures were reported across Mexico driven by local land and agrarian disputes. In Acajete, residents blocked the Amozoc-Nautla federal highway to demand consultation regarding land use for a proposed church site. In Ocoyoacac, communal landholders blocked the Mexico-Toluca highway due to a long-standing dispute over 1,000 hectares in the Valle del Silencio area, alleging illegal land seizure and forest devastation.

By October 2026, roadblocks in the southern State of Mexico began impacting fuel supplies and commerce. Circulation restrictions caused by roadworks and repaving projects extended fuel delivery times from standard durations to as much as 14 or 16 hours, increasing operational costs for distributors. Additionally, a two-hour blockade occurred on the Toluca-Tenango highway by residents of San Lucas Tepemajalco protesting municipal fee management for an upcoming local fair.
