Cheran road open?

We will be making a trip to Guadalajara next week. Wondering if there are any issues with the road through Cheran, Mich. Haven't traveled it in a couple years. It's certainly shorter and more beautiful than going through Morelia. I have heard that at some point it had been totally blocked to cars. Perhaps someone knows a link to find current info? Thanks.

I can't say whether the road is open or closed, but when closed, (presumably you mean closed due to local protests, etc), I'd expect closures to be short-lived. We also try to avoid Morelia, so have taken Rte. 37 from the Guad/DF cuota down through Cheran, Paracho, Uruapan, etc for the last three years. Never had a problem, (even at night). Sometimes the going can be slow due to trucks, etc.....but that's been the extent of our problems.
