Approved Alternative Routes for Drivers
Motorists navigating around the restricted zones can utilize designated alternate corridors mapped out by local authorities. According to the Municipalidad de Pueblo Libre, drivers have multiple options to bypass the closed sectors of avenida General Manuel Vivanco and calle Antonio Polo.
The primary alternative route requires motorists to take avenida Antonio José de Sucre southward, turn left onto jirón Cabo Nicolás Gutarra eastward, and advance toward avenida Brasil. From there, drivers must turn left heading north, proceed west along calle Antonio Polo until reaching avenida General Manuel Cipriano Dulanto, turn right toward the northwest onto avenida José Leguía y Meléndez, and finally take avenida Paso de los Andes eastward to re-enter regular traffic flow. Alternatively, drivers can use avenida Manuel Cipriano Dulanto directly between avenida Brasil and avenida Antonio José de Sucre, as most of that thoroughfare stays open for transit.
Providing clearly mapped alternate routes reduces congestion bottlenecks, though drivers traveling through bordering districts like Pueblo Libre may still experience localized delays during peak celebration hours.
