Traffic Congestion

Infrastructure Minister Aníbal Ehrler announced a L40 million (about $1.6 million) package of road improvements south of Tegucigalpa, including bridge widening, an elevated roadway, a new access bridge, a tunnel, and Periférico Ring upgrades to ease congestion.

At least six vehicles, including a municipal water tanker and a cement mixer, collided on the city's ring road near San Miguel, causing heavy congestion; no injuries have been reported yet.
