These are the road closures for the Noche Blanca outside the Rodrigo Paz stadium this Saturday, February 7
Road closures will impact traffic in northern Quito due to the Noche Blanca event at the Rodrigo Paz stadium.
On Saturday, February 7, starting at 14:30, northern Quito will experience significant traffic disruptions due to the Noche Blanca event, showcasing Liga Deportiva Universitaria (LDU) de Quito's team for the 2026 season. The event will begin formally at 17:00, featuring a performance by an international DJ, and in anticipation of large crowds, the Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) has established a traffic management plan to mitigate congestion.
The planned road closures will include intersections at critical points around the stadium, specifically at Cacica Quilago and Avenida Jhon F. Kennedy, Cacica Quilago and Avenida Diego Vásquez de Cepeda, La Esperanza and Avenida Jhon F. Kennedy, La Esperanza and Hermens Van Rian Rembrandt, as well as the crossing between Hermens Van Rian Rembrandt and Juana Terrazas. These closures are aimed at ensuring safety and accessibility for event attendees while maintaining overall traffic flow in the area.
This event holds local significance as Noche Blanca is an important tradition for supporters of LDU Quito and marks the beginning of the football season. The planning undertaken by municipal authorities indicates a proactive approach to event management in Quito, reflecting the city's commitment to facilitating large gatherings and maintaining public safety. With incidents affecting traffic such as a recent accident on the Quito–Papallacta road, community awareness around road usage and safety is also at the forefront of this undertaking.
