The Municipality of Mendoza City has confirmed the start of a transformative infrastructure project. Beginning Monday, June 29, comprehensive remodeling works will commence on Hipólito Yrigoyen street, a vital artery marking the boundary between the Capital Department and Godoy Cruz district.
For our international readers, it is important to note that Hipólito Yrigoyen is not just any street; it acts as a key connector in the Greater Mendoza urban area. The project aims to significantly enhance safety and urban aesthetics. To minimize disruption to daily life and commerce, authorities have designed a seven-stage execution plan.
The initial phase focuses on two specific sectors covering approximately 235 linear meters:
| Location | Section |
|---|---|
| Brasil Street | From Belgrano to San Martín |
| Hipólito Yrigoyen | From San Martín to Roque Sáenz Peña |
Key Impact: Expect total closures at the Yrigoyen/San Martín intersection and on Brasil Street between San Juan and San Martín.
Planning ahead is essential. Authorities have established clear detours to manage the flow of vehicles in this bustling area.
Drivers must continue to Serú Street, turn west, and merge onto República del Líbano to proceed towards Godoy Cruz.
Two main options are enabled:
Bus lines (locally known as 'colectivos') will modify their routes:
The municipality urges all drivers and public transport users to respect the preventive signage installed in the work area to ensure safe circulation for everyone.
