Stopped vehicles and people on the Transpeninsular Highway at the exit of Cabo San Lucas

A group of about 45 people, relatives and friends from two families, blocked the Transpeninsular Highway at the exit of Cabo San Lucas toward San José del Cabo to demand the location of two young women reported missing to the state Attorney General's Office, according to the Government of Los Cabos. To keep the corridor connected, the city opened two alternate routes.

Drivers traveling between the two cities can use the side road by the El Chaparro bridge and, as a second option, the Salto Seco arroyo track toward Ocho Cascadas while the closure lasts. Allow extra time, since the Transpeninsular is the main road linking the Cabo San Lucas–San José del Cabo tourist corridor, roughly 33 kilometers long.

The city government said the Secretariat General of the XV City Council, the Government Office and the General Directorate of Public Safety, Preventive Police and Traffic went to the site, with support from the National Guard, to talk with the families and keep order. The state's Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Missing Persons also joined the response.

City Secretary General Arnoldo Alberto Rentería Santana and Municipal Government Director José Antonio Avilés Pandor led the outreach with the protesters. On the state side, Attorney General Antonio López Rodríguez took part; the families filed their report over the two young women's disappearance before him.

What to do if you have information or face a similar situation: a missing-person report is filed with the state's Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Missing Persons, and the search can begin immediately, without waiting 72 hours, as the national protocol establishes. The 911 emergency line operates 24 hours for urgent reports.

Motorists in the corridor are advised to check road conditions before leaving and to follow the signs and detours placed by Municipal Traffic until circulation returns to normal.
