Status of Acuyacan to Villahermosa Route

We will be traveling this route in 2 days (from the west), and we'd love to hear the current road conditions and travel times between Acuyacan and Villahermosa, so, we can decide whether to take the more direct but slow route, or take the grand detour down south through Tutuxtla Gutierrez & San Cristobal?
Thanks

I just drove from Acayucan to Villahermosa on 145D and 180D. It was good with a few spots of construction.

Update;
As of late last night, there were 3 mile to 5 mile backups at pinch points where both directions of traffic were forced onto just one side of the normally divided highway. Speeds were reduced to 10 mph for 20 minutes at a time in several areas due to very rough sections of roads. The heavy trucks have beaten the hell out of several areas - making lots of big potholes that could not be avoided.

Our trailer lost a fender and had one axle skewed by the wicked holes, and we were going only 12 mph... conditions seem to be changing daily. The road crews were filling in washed out sections, so, they may have both directions working fine in 2-3 days - but some areas with slow speeds.
