The work to remove damaged areas continued when two more damages were found in the circulation from Monterrey to San Pedro and another in the opposite direction.
San Pedro closed two of three lanes, while Monterrey left the road completely closed at its entrance.

The Tunnel areas are affected by moisture, leaks and damage.
The first images taken with a scanner revealed moisture damage in the Tunnel.
Access to the Loma Larga Tunnel in Monterrey from Constitución was closed.
The Par Vial and the roads around the Tunnel were affected by the road restrictions.
Traffic increased in the afternoon before the Tunnel was closed during peak hours.
The drivers had to continue through Constitución due to the closure of access to the Loma Larga Tunnel, as well as through Venustiano Carranza.
The closure of two lanes created a bottleneck from San Pedro to Monterrey.
