Bolivia Highway Reopens After Days of Blockades

Roadblock Lifted on El Alto-Peru Border Highway The highway connecting El Alto, Bolivia, to the Peruvian border reopened on June 6, 2025, after several days of blockades. The protests, which disrupted traffic and trade, caused significant hardship for local residents and businesses. Unitel Bolivia's news report shows vehicles moving freely once more, though some debris from the blockades remains. "After days of conflict, it's a relief to see the road open again," said one El Alto resident interviewed by Unitel. "The blockades hurt everyone, but we hope this is the end of it." The video footage shows the extent of the disruption, with piles of earth and rocks obstructing the road. The reporter also notes that while traffic is flowing, a complete cleanup is still needed. The cause of the blockades is not fully explained in the video but appears to be related to local political issues. The reopening of the highway is a positive sign for the region, signaling a return to normalcy and the resumption of essential transportation links.
