Brief
Venezuela’s Transport Ministry announced a partial overnight closure of the Pan-American Highway for rehabilitation work. The restriction applies to the Los Teques-to-Caracas direction at kilometer 16, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on September 10 and continuing until early Friday. Authorities said one lane would operate in the opposite direction to maintain traffic during the work.
The work indicates active maintenance on the road connection between Los Teques and Caracas, while the contraflow arrangement limits disruption. However, one overnight intervention provides little evidence by itself of a broader or sustained improvement in Venezuela’s transport infrastructure.
