Return Plan: recommendations for the return of travelers to Bogotá

This Sunday marks the end of Holy Week and, with it, the holidays of many capitals who left the city in recent days. As usual, this Saturday the return of travelers to Bogotá begins and the authorities are already preparing to advance the Return Plan.According to figures from the District Mobility Secretariat, about 800,000 vehicles left the capital of the country to other municipalities to enjoy the Easter holidays. Likewise, the latest report by the mayor’s office shows that more than 400,000 cars have already returned to the city. The highest traffic flow in revenue to Bogotá is expected to occur between Saturday 16 and Sunday, April 17, in the development of the Return Plan.People traveling to Bogotá this weekend should take into account the road closures that are in force, for example, the one on the road that leads from Girardot to the country’s capital. It is also important to note that the entrance to the city cannot be done at any time, as there will be a peak and regional plate.Closures on the Girardot road – BogotáSeveral closures are reported on this road so, according to the newspaper El Tiempo, the Vía 40 Express concession will enable crossings to a lane in different sectors, including the Sumapaz Tunnel. Likewise, the media reported that there is the possibility that a counterflow will be enabled in the Nariz del Devil sector so that the cars returning to Bogotá can also take that route, which in its nature is one-way.Regional Peak and PlateThis week the Mayor’s Office of Bogotá recalled that this restriction will be in force for entry to the city after the Easter holidays.On Easter Sunday until noon, all vehicles will be able to enter the city, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. vehicles with even-numbered plates will enter the capital of the country. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., cars whose license plate ends in odd numbers will be allowed to enter. From 8 p.m. onwards, the passage will again be enabled for all vehicles wishing to enter Bogotá regardless of the number on which their license plate ends.It should be noted that, parallel to the restriction on entry into the city, local authorities will implement the reversible race of the Seventh Race from 245th Street and 180th Street, between 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.Entrance routes where the regional peak and plate applyThe restriction of traffic by peak and regional plate will apply in the nine corridors of entry into the city that are:-North motorway: from the Andes toll to the north portal of the TransMilenio system, in a north—south direction-South motorway: from the municipal boundary of Soacha to Boyacá Avenue, south/north-Centenario Avenue (13th Street): from the Bogotá River to the Ciudad de Cali Avenue (Carrera Avenue 86), in the west-east direction-80th Street Avenue: from the Guadua bridge to the 80th portal of the TransMilenio system, in the west-east direction-Avenida Carrera 7: from 245th Street to 183rd Street, north/south-Boyacá Avenue via al Llano: from the Algerian Durán Quintero tunnel to the old road to the Llano, south/north direction-Via Suba Cota: from the Bogotá River to Av. 170 street, north/south direction-Via la Calera: from Patios toll to carrera 7 avenue, east-west direction-Via to Choachí: from the road to Monserrate to the Circunvalar avenue, in the east-west directionIt is important to note that the exceptions for solidarity peak and plate circulation, car sharing and for medical personnel are not valid for this measure.
