Municipalities in the Aburrá Valley and Antioquia are experiencing significant traffic disruptions this Thursday, March 5, due to roadblocks that have created chaos on major routes.
The Medellin Mobility Secretariat has announced that mobility is severely reduced on Las Palmas Avenue, particularly around return 5, in the West – East direction. A blockade was initiated by space transporters and taxi drivers at the entrance to the Eastern Tunnel.

José María Córdova Airport urges travelers to arrive early to avoid missing their flights amidst these disruptions.
In Caldas, the blockade situation is particularly dire as transporters have parked their vehicles at key locations along the bypass.

Blockades on the road to Barbosa have also been reported, disrupting emergency services. An ambulance carrying a critically ill patient faced delays due to these obstructions.
“We appeal to everyone not to obstruct ambulances, as they carry patients in need of urgent care,” stated Javier Gamarra, manager of the Yondó hospital.
While no major slowdowns are planned like those of the previous day, various entrances to Medellin will experience blockades in Bello, Girardota, Copacabana, Caldas, Barbosa, and on the Hatillo road.
Current Status of Antioquia’s Roads
Traffic conditions remain critical on the Medellín – Bogotá highway near Guarne, where intermittent closures have caused traffic jams since Sunday evening.
Numerous blockades have been reported in eastern Antioquia, particularly on the Medellín-Bogotá highway around San Luis and on the road connecting El Carmen de Viboral to Rionegro.
In northern Antioquia, Yarumal (La Estación sector) and Medellín-Llanos de Cuivá highway are also experiencing intermittent roadblocks. In Caucasia’s Bajo Cauca region, restricted access persists at Glorieta de Campo and the Amagá highway.
