Eduardo Bailey Elizondo, director of the center in Durango of the SCT, said that there are some minor incidents, but they do not affect the transit of vehicles. In a supervisory tour, the very severe damage was identified on the state highway, in the municipality of El Mezquital. Vehicle traffic was reopened on the highway to Mazatlan, as well as on the Durango-Parral highway, in Gómez Palacio, in addition to the Cuencamé road to Zacatecas, and the road to Torreón. "Due to the intensity of the rains we will have some problems of potholes, which will be addressed immediately by our staff," he said. He added that the strongest affectation was the collapse of the free highway to Mazatlan, which was repaired. He exhorted to drive with caution as there are sections with intense fog from kilometer 67 on the free highway to Mazatlan, as well as in the highest parts of this road. http://www.milenio.com/estados/willa-desaparece-km-50-carretera-durango-tepic
