Quito announces partial closures on Simón Bolívar Avenue for maintenance
This Saturday, mobility in the city of Quito will undergo significant changes due to scheduled maintenance work. Authorities have announced the temporary closure of some lanes on Simón Bolívar Avenue, one of the busiest and most fundamental routes in the Ecuadorian capital. These works will affect vehicle flow during much of the day.
The main reason for this measure is the removal of trees that could pose a risk to drivers and pedestrians. According to official information, these actions are necessary to prevent accidents, especially in areas where vegetation has grown unstably or where branches could fall onto the road during windy or rainy days.
The closures will not be total, but partial, allowing traffic to continue flowing, albeit more slowly than usual. For this reason, citizens are recommended to plan their routes in advance and consider leaving earlier than normal to avoid significant delays in their weekend activities.
Personnel from the Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) will be present at the affected points to coordinate the passage of vehicles and ensure the safety of the workers performing the clearing tasks. It is essential that drivers respect traffic signs and follow the instructions of the agents to maintain order on the road.
Circulation on Simón Bolívar Avenue is expected to return to normal once the vegetation removal tasks are completed. Local authorities invite the population to stay informed through official channels and social media to know the current state of the roads in real time and avoid inconveniences.
