Netflix Filming in Old City: Which Streets to Avoid This Weekend Due to Last-Minute Changes

Montevideo residents and visitors to the historic Ciudad Vieja district should be aware of significant traffic changes this weekend, as announced by the Intendencia de Montevideo (IMM). The filming of the Netflix series "El futuro es nuestro" necessitates temporary road closures and parking restrictions, impacting several key streets in the area.

Originally planned with a different schedule, the production's logistics have been adjusted in response to meteorological warnings predicting strong winds from an extratropical cyclone. This means that the planned street closures and parking reservations have been modified to accommodate the changing weather conditions. The IMM has provided detailed information regarding the specific times and locations affected, urging the public to plan accordingly.

Filming is slated to take place on Saturday, May 9, at an indoor set on Bartolomé Mitre street, and then move to an outdoor set on Piedras street for filming on Sunday, May 10, and Monday, May 11. The entire operation is expected to conclude by early Tuesday, May 12. While intermittent traffic stops will occur on Saturday to allow for public transport passage, residents should anticipate disruptions throughout the period. El País is providing this information to help citizens navigate these temporary changes smoothly.
