The Ministry of Mobility and Infrastructure of Buenos Aires has announced a complete shutdown of the Dellepiane Highway as part of a major road modernization project. This closure will impact both directions of the highway starting from Friday, March 20 at 11:30 PM and will remain in effect until Wednesday, March 25 at 5:00 AM. The city aims to enhance the infrastructure by installing two new bridges—one for vehicles and another for pedestrians, which will be positioned over Río Negro Street.

This construction effort, carried out by Urban Highways (AUSA), is deemed essential for improving traffic flow and safety in a busy area. Local authorities have emphasized that such measures are necessary despite the inconvenience caused to motorists during the closure. They have encouraged residents to plan alternative routes and to remain informed about the timing of the closures to minimize disruption.

The closures coincide with a long weekend, which may further affect traffic patterns as people travel for leisure. The initiative reflects the city’s commitment to modernizing its infrastructure to accommodate a growing population and to bolster urban mobility, thus highlighting ongoing urban development efforts in Buenos Aires.
