Bolivia Roadblocks Isolate Cochabamba, Disrupting Transportation

Cochabamba Isolated: Roadblocks Cripple Bolivia's Transportation Network Cochabamba, Bolivia – June 3, 2025 – Widespread roadblocks across Bolivia are severely disrupting transportation and isolating the department of Cochabamba from the rest of the country. The blockades, concentrated in Cochabamba but also affecting Santa Cruz, Beni, La Paz, and Oruro, have been ongoing for two days, according to a UNitel Bolivia news report. The report, featuring a map showing the locations of the blockades, highlights the extent of the disruption. "There is no access, no free transit from east to west due to these pressure measures," stated the UNitel reporter. While many blockades are due to protests, the report also notes some are caused by natural events. The situation underscores the challenges facing Bolivia's infrastructure and the impact of ongoing social and environmental issues.
