Jalisco security and mobility authorities have announced a formal traffic operation — named Última Milla — that will close and restrict vehicle access around Estadio Guadalajara Zapopan for the 2026 World Cup, with permanent closures through June and temporary match‑day cuts on June 11, 18, 23 and 26. The measures include an uninterrupted closure of Circuito JVC for the entire month, and all temporary restrictions will begin seven hours before each game and remain in place until seven hours after the final whistle.
The operation covers the stadium’s immediate perimeter and several feeder corridors in Zapopan. Officials say the exclusion perimeter includes the side roads of the Anillo Periférico Poniente and the lateral lanes of avenida Vallarta, and that there will be planned cuts on avenida del Bajío, avenida del Bosque and avenida Las Torres. The plan also establishes access filters and specific vehicle restrictions in the El Bajío area as part of the Última Milla device.
Jorge Arizpe described the scope as extending beyond the venue itself to secondary corridors that connect to the stadium zone, signaling a footprint meant to control flows to and from the west side of the metropolitan area. The preparatory phase for the mobility plan began in late May and runs until June 10; the first scheduled match‑day closure is set for June 11, followed by additional restrictions on June 18, 23 and 26.
The four local match dates are set: South Korea vs. Czech Republic on June 11 at 20:00 hours; Mexico vs. South Korea on June 18 at 19:00 hours; Colombia vs. Democratic Republic of the Congo on June 23 at 20:00 hours; and Uruguay vs. Spain on June 26 at 18:00 hours. For each of those days the seven‑hour windows before and after kickoff will effectively widen the hours of limited access for commuters, residents and businesses near the stadium.
To help drivers and visitors plan, the Instituto de Información Estadística y Geográfica de Jalisco and the Gobierno de Zapopan have published six new MapaLab sections dedicated to the tournament — Estadio Guadalajara, FIFA Fan Festival, Transporte público, Partidos, Conciertos and Sitios turísticos — available at /mapalab/mapa. The map platform shows entry and exit points for venues, Mi Macro Periférico and light‑rail stations, pick‑up points and special transport routes to the stadium, consolidating logistical information from state, municipal and FIFA working groups.
Abigail Rizo, who helped present the platform, said the digital tool was designed to make official information accessible in a single place so citizens can find what will affect their daily routines. Rizo framed MapaLab as a centralized reference for the operational details authorities are coordinating ahead of the matches.
That centralization carries an important caveat: MapaLab’s logistical data will evolve during the competition as authorities adjust operational decisions. The published bulletin and online maps do not list a final count of access points or every detour that will be implemented for each closed roadway, which leaves drivers and local businesses without fixed alternative‑route instructions until authorities finalize day‑of traffic patterns.
The schedule is clear in timing but open on granular routing: the initial setup phase ends June 10, and match‑day closures begin June 11 and recur on June 18, 23 and 26, with each restriction window spanning seven hours before and after the game. Commuters, workers and residents should consult MapaLab for the latest maps and special routes and prepare for last‑minute operational changes; until officials publish final detour diagrams, those who travel through the stadium area must expect fluid, on‑the‑ground traffic management rather than a fixed set of diversion roads.
