Caracas residents face nearly a month of nighttime traffic disruptions on the Cota Mil highway as the Ministry of Transport undertakes rehabilitation work. The partial closure, affecting a key ramp connecting Avenida Sucre to the highway in the direction of Altamira and El Marqués, will be in effect nightly from 9 PM to 4 AM between July 22 and August 15.

The Ministry has not detailed the exact nature of the rehabilitation efforts at the Sebucán Distributor. It also remains unclear if these works are linked to infrastructure assessments conducted after a significant earthquake on June 24.

Authorities are urging drivers to plan their routes and consider alternatives during the closure period. The Empresa de Mantenimiento Vial (Envial), an agency under the Ministry of Transport, will carry out the rehabilitation. The ministry stated the work aims to improve circulation and ensure safe mobility.
