Quito to Close 14 Streets Connecting to Metro Stations for Road Rehabilitation

The Municipality of Quito is set to close 14 streets that provide access to Metro stations in the Iñaquito, Alameda, and San Francisco sectors. The closures, beginning Thursday, July 2, 2026, are part of a comprehensive road rehabilitation plan aimed at improving infrastructure around the city's transit system.

For visitors sitting in the visitor seats, we do not allow live coverage.

This initiative is the first phase of a broader road renewal project that targets 86 sections, covering a total of 12 kilometers, with completion expected by March 2027. The initial phase will focus on 3.4 kilometers spread across the 14 affected streets.

In the Iñaquito sector, work will commence on Borja Yerovi street and four others, with an estimated duration of 30 days. Alternative routes include major avenues like De los Shyris and Amazonas. Similarly, the Alameda sector will see 30 days of work on four streets, with 10 de Agosto and 12 de Octubre avenues serving as detours.

As long as the trial is for the reading of indictments, exceptions, or defenses if any, up to the interlocutory decision, and for the trial of the reading of charges, pleas, up to the final decision, the East Jakarta District Court has allowed media crews to conduct live coverage.

Starting July 6, rehabilitation will begin in the San Francisco sector on four streets, expected to take 35 days. Mariscal Sucre and Universitaria avenues are among the alternative routes. The municipality emphasizes that the work involves resurfacing, drainage repair, and updated signage to ensure safer and more efficient access to Metro stations.

However, in the evidence-gathering stage, the East Jakarta District Court's decision states that live coverage is not permitted because, by law, witness testimonies are not heard by each other.
