The state government announced Friday afternoon that a section of highway in the mountainous Centinela-La Rumorosa stretch was closed because of snow.

The closure is at kilometer 26 of the toll road that connects Mexicali to cities in the western part of the state, including Tecate, Tijuana and Rosarito Beach.

Officials said the closure will remain in effect until further notice. For more information on the status of the highway in the La Rumorosa area, call 011-52 (686) 575-0202 or 011-52 (686) 575-0207.

Governor José Guadalupe Osuna said that, along with the trans-peninsular highway south of Ensenada, a 40-meter stretch of the San Felipe-Ensenada highway in the northeast of the state, in an area known as El Chinero, suffered damage that forced the closure of the highway.
