This Saturday, a friendly match between Mexico and Portugal will be played as part of the inauguration of the Banorte Stadium, located at the Azteca Stadium. For this reason, Ulises García Nieto, Secretary of Mobility of Mexico City, reported that there will be a special mobility operation in the area. For this Saturday, road closures, controlled access routes, and reinforcement of public transport in the south area are planned. Additionally, there will be a security polygon with a closure on Calzada de Tlalpan, where Viaducto Tlalpan will operate as a relief route. The security operation will begin four hours before the match, that is, at 3:00 PM. He added that the 'last mile' vehicular access strategy will be used to avoid affecting neighbors. Road closures will be on: Circuito Azteca, Anillo Periférico, Avenida del Imán, Gran Sur, Calzada de Tlalpan, and Avenida Acoxpa. If you have a ticket for the Mexico vs. Portugal match, consider that the Light Rail will operate normally, but the Estadio Azteca station will be closed from 3:00 PM, so you must get off at alternate stations. Also, there will be no parking at Banorte Stadium for private cars, but there will be special transport to facilitate the movement of people. If you did not get a ticket for the match, the Government of Mexico City installed a 25 by 14-meter screen on the Zócalo square to watch the live broadcast of the match. Pick-up and drop-off points are planned on avenues such as Acoxpa, Renato Leduc, El Vergel, and Santa Úrsula. It was also reported that there will be a total closure of the roads from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Meanwhile, the Road Orientation Center of the Citizen Security Secretariat of Mexico City detailed the closures and detours in the area.
