FAQ

Where can I check if a highway is closed in Guatemala?
Follow COVIAL on Facebook (facebook.com/COVIAL.CIV.gt) for daily KM-specific road work updates, or the Ministerio de Comunicaciones (civguate) for major project announcements. For real-time accident closures, follow PMT accounts of the affected municipality. We aggregate the official channels here for at-a-glance access.
What's the difference between COVIAL and PROVIAL?
COVIAL is the road maintenance executive unit — they publish scheduled repairs and bacheo. PROVIAL is the highway emergency response service — call 1517 for accidents or breakdowns on a national highway.
Why don't you have a real-time map of every closure?
Guatemala’s road agencies don’t publish a unified machine-readable closure feed. Until that exists, the most current source is each agency’s social media. We embed those feeds here so you don’t have to chase them across platforms.
