A road closed by protest, normal travel vocabulary in Bolivia. Whether one exists today is asked at the office the same day, never assumed.
Bloqueos are a managed part of Bolivian travel, usually announced, tracked and talked about rather than sudden. Locals ask about one as matter-of-factly as about the weather, and the company office or the driver is where the real answer lives.
Useful to recognize when staff explain card/app blocking; ask official support for real cases.
