Mexico City Flooded: Storm Brings Chaos to Transportation and Infrastructure

Mexico City and State of Mexico Battle Severe Flooding After June 2nd Storm Heavy rainfall on the evening of June 2nd, 2025, caused widespread flooding and disruption across Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico. The storm's intensity led to significant challenges for commuters and emergency services alike. One particularly affected area was Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, where rising floodwaters brought traffic to a standstill. "Passengers had to abandon their buses and walk through the floodwaters to reach their destinations," reported a local resident who witnessed the event. The situation was further exacerbated by a large tree that fell across the road, blocking passage. In Ecatepec, the Vía Morelos highway near Clinic 76 experienced severe flooding due to a build-up of garbage and debris. The sheer volume of waste in the area contributed to the rapid rise of floodwaters, making it difficult for vehicles to pass. The Cablebús Line 3, a crucial part of the city's transportation network, was forced to suspend service due to the electrical storm that accompanied the heavy rain. Emergency services were deployed to assist affected residents and clear debris from the roadways. Despite the challenges, the response from emergency services was swift and effective, helping minimize the impact of the storm on the city. The storm serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and infrastructure maintenance in the face of extreme weather events.
