President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico City is set to deliver an accountability report at the Monument to the Revolution on Saturday, May 31. This event marks the second anniversary of her triumph in the 2024 presidential elections and is expected to cause considerable traffic disruptions throughout the capital.

To ensure security for the event, authorities began implementing full and partial road closures around the Monument to the Revolution in the early hours of the day. Key affected routes include Gรณmez Farรญas Avenue at Insurgentes Avenue and Paseo de la Reforma towards the west. These restrictions are likely to cause congestion on surrounding streets and avenues, prompting officials to recommend that drivers plan their journeys in advance.

As alternative routes, authorities suggest using Avenida Ribera de San Cosme and its continuation, Avenida Mรฉxico-Tenochtitlรกn, as well as Avenida Chapultepec. Traffic officers will be present in the area to guide drivers and help manage traffic flow. The report is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM and is part of the commemorations for her electoral victory.
