Mexico City announces traffic closures for Colombia vs. Uzbekistan match

Mexico City authorities will implement partial road closures starting Tuesday night and full closures Wednesday morning for the Colombia vs. Uzbekistan World Cup match. The "Última Milla" (Last Mile) operation aims to manage security and pedestrian flow around the stadium.

Only pedestrians with match tickets or proof of residency, along with accredited vehicles, will be allowed into the designated zone. This measure, detailed by the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) head Pablo Vázquez Camacho, is part of the security plan for the World Cup, including the opening match and other games at the Mexico City stadium.

The "Última Milla" zone will be bordered by Santa Úrsula Avenue to the north, Circuito Azteca and the Periférico lateral to the south, Calzada de Tlalpan, Acoxpa, and Las Torres to the east, and Avenida del Imán and Gran Sur to the west. Vázquez emphasized that the goal is to organize pedestrian movement and ensure safety.

Authorities have outlined alternative routes, including Miguel Ángel de Quevedo and Circuito Interior to the north, and Periférico, San Fernando, and Insurgentes to the south. Traffic agents will manage necessary road closures and assist with mobility services, including "Park & Ride" options, taxi stands, and bicycle transport points.
