Clear Roads Across Buenos Aires: A Stress-Free Monday Start
If you’re heading out this Monday, January 27, 2025, you’re in luck. Argentina’s transport authorities have confirmed that all major highways and access routes to Buenos Aires City (CABA) are operating with free-flowing traffic and zero delays this morning. The official report from the Ministry of Transport brings a sigh of relief to commuters who have faced recent congestion due to roadworks.
“Traffic is clear on all national routes and access roads to CABA. Teams are working on prevention. Have a great Monday, everyone!” – Secretary of Transport, Alejandro Ramos, via Twitter at 08:05 AM.
According to the official statement from Vialidad Nacional (National Highways) and the National Road Safety Agency, traffic is flowing smoothly on key arteries including the 25 de Mayo Highway, General Paz Avenue, Western Access, Northern Access, and the Buenos Aires–La Plata Highway. No delays exceeding 5 minutes have been reported, and there are no scheduled closures.
Fog Warning: Drive with Caution
Despite the excellent traffic conditions, authorities are advising extra caution on Routes 2 and 11 due to dense fog patches that are reducing visibility, particularly in the early hours. “Fog can be deceptive. Even though traffic is clear, it’s essential to slow down and maintain a safe distance between vehicles,” said a spokesperson from the Transport Ministry.
Why This Matters: A Key Week Ahead
This Monday marks the beginning of a week where a 15% increase in vehicle flow is expected, driven by the end of winter holidays in some provinces and the start of school terms in others. So far, the road network is handling the load perfectly, which is a welcome change after recent weeks saw delays of up to 40 minutes during peak hours due to repaving works on Route 3 and the Ricchieri Highway.
