PROGRESS.—The case of the elevated viaduct is trapped, in the middle of constant citizen blockades and threats of a massive truck strike that require an alternative route or free transit.
There is also the supposed refusal of the port authorities to allow trailers access to the deep-sea port traveling on that bypass, which passes over 82nd Street and directly connects the remote terminal with the Mérida-Progreso highway.
Despite protests from neighbors and the fact that the work finished more than of monthsthere is still no date for the elevated viaduct to come into operation.
Citizen demonstrations are intensifying and could move in front of the Municipal Palace and the entrance to the city, with sit-ins that could further affect the port.
Meanwhile, every day in port and transportation circles a movement is gaining strength that a group of transporters are organizing to carry out a massive stoppage of cargo truckswith the aim that Traffic on the viaduct is free and an alternate route is enabled.
Last Friday, Neighbors on 46th and 25th streets blocked traffic on 25th Street at 62nd Street, where a dozen trailers were stranded.
Numerous trucks parked on the bypass to wait for the withdrawal of the protesters, who demand the opening of the elevated viaduct and that heavy vehicles stop traveling on those arteries.
No authorities met with the protesters, who in the last three months have already made five blockades on 46th and 25th streets.
Still no reception and opening date
There are reports that the Mexican Navy, through the Administration of the National Port System (Asipona) of Progress, still does not receive the work in the part that corresponds to its access facilities to the remote terminal on the side of 25th and 82nd Street.
Nor has it authorized access for trailers traveling on the elevated viaduct and, apparently, there are details or failures in the elevated infrastructure.
The control and administration of access could not be carried out by a private company, but by the port authority.
