Some construction still in process, nothing significant to note.

Rode from Quetzaltenango to the border today - in general the road is bad, potholed and patchy. Some stretches of gravel and a few stretches of roadworks. But road was open all the way, no problem to pass, no fees or «fees» to be paid. Traffic is moving really slow in many sections. Spent ~ 4,5 hours from Quetzaltenango to the border (166 kms) so average speed is low!

This road is now perfectly fine and is mostly all new pavement. Some stretches left with a few pot holes but totally fine in our long ford transit.

Passed here without any special delay - maybe 10 minutes. Just one of many similar holdups along this road, caused by road failure or construction work.

They are working on it. You can now drive through. Nothing paid.

We waited 8 hours to pass since they apparently had another landslide this morning. Since there is no other option to go to La Mesilla bring food/drinks and be patient.

Takes at least 30 minutes to pass through one lane road with semi trucks and buses in both sides. If in a rush may want an alternate route

Held up after some of the road has broken away/bridge broken. Large vehicles (lorries and chicken busses etc. can't pass) - we were previously advised to take the other route
down to the lake Atitlan via Santa Cruz... research/consider your routes before setting off. This bridge has completely fallen. Charging 50Q to pass.
