The road rehabilitation of Amazonas and 10 de Agosto avenues, in highly congested sections, may generate an increase in traffic in this sector.
As of January 30, the passage on Amazonas avenue will be closed, in the section that runs from Río Coca avenue to Gaspar de Villarroel. The execution of these works will take 70 days.
Alternate routes that drivers can take are as follows:
| North – South direction | South direction – north |
|---|---|
| The Inca Avenue | San Cristobal Island |
| Avenue La Prensa | Rio Coca Avenue |
Free rides on the Quito Metro are temporarily suspended due to technical evaluations and sectional elections
As of January 31, the rehabilitation of the eight lanes of Avenida 10 de Agosto between the interchanges of El Labrador and “La Y” will begin. Work will begin with the four central lanes.
Alternative routes to avoid this closed section are:
| Avenue brazil | Avenue of the Shyris |
| Avenue of the Press | The Inca Avenue |
The municipal authorities announced that they will have a contingent of traffic agents from the AMT to expedite vehicular traffic.
However, they issued the recommendation to avoid concentrating in those areas and take alternate routes or park in the surroundings to carry out efforts in this sector. (YO)
