City’s Major Highway Closure: Discover Alternative Routes and Detours

The City’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Mobility announced significant changes to the Dellepiane Highway, specifically regarding the Mozart entrance and exit. Starting January 15, the entrance and exit points along this stretch will be closed. This closure is part of a comprehensive renovation plan aimed at enhancing road safety and improving traffic flow for both personal vehicles and public transport.

Closure Details and Main Goals

This initiative allows for uninterrupted progress on improvements to the highway’s collector roads and the main corridor. The renovation is a major component of the highway’s modernization project, which aims to reduce travel times and reinforce safety standards.

Alternative Routes and Recommended Detours

In light of the closure, motorists are advised to use nearby ramps located at Escalada Avenue or Lacarra Avenue to maintain connectivity during this period of work. Notably, the Mozart ramps will no longer be reopened, as the final project configuration prioritizes continuity of the planned linear park on either side of the highway.

• Use General Paz Avenue to access the Riccheri Highway.
• Alternative roads include Directorio Avenue, San Juan Avenue, Independencia Avenue, and Alberdi Avenue.
• For those coming from Puente La Noria, the 27 de Febrero Avenue and Cámpora Highway (AU7) provide a route around the construction area.

Current Restrictions on the Dellepiane Highway

Furthermore, AUSA has confirmed lane restrictions in both directions between Piedra Buena and Miralla, affecting the right lane and shoulders. These limitations may cause traffic delays during peak hours, as they are related to modifications for the clearance under the Belgrano Sur Railway bridge.

Features of the Dellepiane Master Plan

This comprehensive initiative is part of the Integrated Urban Mobility System initiated by the city government. The plan aims to transform the Dellepiane into the city’s first parkway with improved circulation for vehicles and public transport.

Key statistics indicate that the highway accommodates about 200,000 vehicles daily, benefiting around 63,000 residents. Improvements will include:

• Exclusive bus lanes connected to the Metrobus of AU 25 de Mayo.
• Central bus stops equipped with safety features.
• Complete replacement of side barriers and installation of impact absorbers.

New Crosswalks and Complementary Works

The project will introduce elevated crosswalks connecting the linear park with public transportation stops. Designed with accessible ramps and updated lighting, these crosswalks will facilitate safer pedestrian movement and improve access to new green spaces.

AUSA is also constructing new segments on the northern and southern collectors between Piedra Buena and Rucci, enhancing local traffic circulation and reducing congestion during high-demand hours.

Urban Park and Hydraulic Works

The city’s urban plan includes a linear park spanning 4 kilometers, featuring sports fields, athletic tracks, playgrounds, aerobic stations, and bike lanes. This design promotes new recreational spaces in an area traditionally dominated by road infrastructure.

Simultaneously, a hydraulic project is underway in the Cildáñez Basin to improve stormwater drainage, benefiting over 3,700 residents susceptible to flooding. This includes constructing two 2,700-meter-long drainage conduits and adding 247 new storm drains for enhanced rainwater capture.
