Starting this Wednesday, the city of Córdoba is experiencing a new complete closure of vehicular traffic. This time, the interruption affects Costanera Norte at the height of Obispo Videla del Pino, a road used daily by thousands of drivers. The measure will last for one week, according to information from the Municipality.
The closure is due to patching and repair work as part of the road maintenance plan. The works began with heavy machinery from the early hours of the day and require a complete closure of that section. Although these are necessary works, the total interruption causes delays and congestion during key hours.
Officials from Palacio 6 de Julio indicated that the duration of the closure will depend on the pace of the work and weather conditions. Nevertheless, the closure for so many days on such a busy artery represents a new point of conflict for daily traffic. Merchants and residents of the area also expressed concern about the decrease in foot traffic.
Alternative detours during the closure
Given the complete interruption of traffic on Costanera Norte, the Municipality has implemented a detour plan. For those wishing to continue toward downtown, the suggested route is:
Obispo Videla del Pino → Baracaldo → Julián Paz → Costanera Norte.
