Roadblocks in Cochabamba Halt Bus Travel from La Paz

Roadblocks in Cochabamba Suspend Bus Travel from La Paz La Paz, Bolivia – June 2, 2025 – Bus travel from La Paz to several major Bolivian cities has been significantly disrupted due to roadblocks erected by supporters of former president Evo Morales. The blockades, primarily concentrated in Cochabamba, have halted departures to Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, and Sucre, affecting interdepartmental transit. "Due to the roadblocks, we have had to suspend departures to Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, and Sucre," stated a transportation official in an interview at the La Paz bus terminal. "This has made travel very difficult for many people." The official added that the situation has been ongoing since the previous night, with at least nine points of blockage reported in Cochabamba alone. Many travelers have had to disembark and walk to find alternative transportation. Authorities are working to resolve the situation and restore normal bus routes. While routes to other departments remain unaffected, the disruption highlights the ongoing political tensions in the country and the impact on everyday citizens.
