Soho, a trap for those who want to arrive on time

What should be a brief journey of just 200 meters has turned into a daily nightmare for hundreds of drivers crossing the Soho area each morning. The streets of Trinidad Grund and Vendeja, main access routes from the port area to Calle Córdoba, experience traffic jams exceeding 40 minutes during peak hours, generating frustration and making it nearly impossible to arrive on time for any appointment in the center.

This situation is exacerbated by the constant collapse of Alameda Colón, one of the city's key arteries, which is also saturated due to the volume of traffic, loading and unloading of goods, and poorly synchronized traffic lights.

Residents and workers in the area complain that this situation repeats every morning between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with no clear measures observed by the City Council to alleviate the congestion. "It's maddening. You leave with a margin, but you end up losing almost an hour stuck in the car for what you could walk in five minutes," comments C. P, a local resident.

An area to avoid if you want to be on time. With these conditions, the general recommendation among regular drivers is to avoid the Soho area early in the morning, especially if one has a fixed schedule or important meetings. Alternatives like taking the Paseo de los Curas or using public transport still offer better times, although they are not free from traffic jams either.
