Traffic Cuts this Friday in Malaga for the Christmas Lights Inauguration

The City Council of Málaga announces mobility impacts due to the Christmas lights switching on tomorrow, Friday, November 28.

Given the expected large crowd, the Local Police will completely close vehicular traffic on the section of Alameda Principal between Puerta del Mar and Cortina del Muelle, initially from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Additionally, on Calle Córdoba, the right turn to access Alameda Principal eastbound will be restricted. Similarly, Paseo del Parque will be closed, except for public transport. Thus, private traffic will be diverted towards Paseo de los Curas, while buses and taxis will be able to access up to the junction with Boquete del Muelle, where they will be redirected towards Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia.

Moreover, during the video-mapping projection on the south tower of the Cathedral (at 7:00 PM, 8:30 PM, and 10:00 PM from next Saturday, November 29, until January 4, except December 24 and 31) the exit traffic from Calle Molina Lario will be diverted through Postigo de los Abades to flow into Cortina del Muelle.

EMT Buses

Next Friday, November 28, between approximately 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, La Marina square and part of Alameda Principal (section between Larios and Córdoba streets) will be closed to traffic.

As a result, certain EMT bus lines will divert their usual routes, leading to the cancellation of the bus stops located on the south side of Alameda Principal (eastbound).

The planned diversions are as follows:

· Towards Avenida de Andalucía: the diversions of lines heading from Paseo del Parque towards Avenida de Andalucía will be made at the height of Boquete del Muelle, Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia, and Calle Córdoba to return to Alameda Principal.

· Towards Paseo del Parque: the diversions of lines heading from Avenida de Andalucía towards Paseo del Parque will be made at the height of Alameda de Colón, Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia, Boquete del Muelle, and Paseo del Parque.

Lines 7 and 20 coming from Avenida de Andalucía will take their route via Alameda de Colón to turn towards Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia, westbound.

To facilitate proper access to the buses, EMT will have a team of informers distributed in the areas of Alameda Principal north, Alameda Principal south, and Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia.
