Controlled Explosions Begin on Puerto Vallarta-Barra de Navidad Highway to Mitigate Landslide Risks Post-Hurricane Lidia

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — Beginning at 9 a.m. this Sunday, authorities initiated a series of “controlled explosions” on the Puerto Vallarta-Barra de Navidad federal highway 200, specifically in the stretch between Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlán. The decision to perform these controlled demolitions comes in the wake of a landslide that blocked the thoroughfare for over 24 hours, a direct aftermath of Hurricane Lidia, which struck on the 10th of this month.
