Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, October 27, 2026 – CANACAR and allied trucking organizations agreed Tuesday to withdraw highway blockades after federal talks, updating warnings of possible disruption on the Guadalajara–Vallarta corridor.
For residents planning to drive inland, the immediate question is whether that agreement clears the way to Guadalajara. The participating organizations have committed to ending their protests, although the agreement does not list reopening times or confirm which individual highway stretches have cleared.
CANACAR, Mexico’s national freight transport chamber, said instructions to withdraw had already reached drivers. La Jornada’s report published at 11:24 a.m. quoted its president, Augusto Ramos, saying: “They are already heading back to their places of origin.”
The announcement updates the disruption risk described in Vallarta Daily’s earlier coverage of trucker protests on the Guadalajara route. Those demonstrations began Monday, October 26, at highway approaches serving Guadalajara.
La Venta del Astillero was a particular concern for people traveling between the coast and the state capital. Before Tuesday’s agreement, the Jalisco industrial chambers council had warned that demonstrations could continue there and on the highway to Zapotlanejo.
According to the council’s warning, protesters were expected to occupy one or two lanes intermittently. Vehicles were expected to retain passage, but businesses were advised to adjust delivery schedules and allow for delays.
For a Vallarta resident heading to an appointment in Guadalajara, that placed the potential bottleneck toward the inland end of the journey. For freight traveling toward the coast, disruption at the same approach could complicate departure and delivery schedules.
The withdrawal agreement moves the dispute into further negotiations. Ramos said four working groups had been agreed with federal authorities. The subjects include highway security, infrastructure, taxation, social security and working conditions.
Mexico’s Interior Ministry, known as Segob, will coordinate those discussions through its undersecretariat and government unit. The participating organizations committed to removing the blockades and suspending freight transport demonstrations.
That gives drivers a change in the protest plans while the underlying demands remain under discussion. The immediate commitment is to withdraw the trucks; decisions on the issues that prompted the demonstrations will require further agreements.
Industriales Jalisco has asked businesses to follow its updates and CANACAR’s communications. Anyone leaving Vallarta with a fixed arrival time in Guadalajara should check for a fresh report on La Venta del Astillero before departure.
