Buenos Aires Closes AU 25 de Mayo and Perito Moreno on Saturday for Free-Flow Toll Installation

The shutdown advances a barrier-free tolling rollout that makes TelePASE compulsory with steep penalties for unpaid passages.

Overview

  • The full closure runs Saturday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time in both directions to enable work tied to the toll modernization plan.
  • The operation centers on installing a new pórtico on AU 25 de Mayo at Culpina to replace the Dellepiane toll booths with automatic electronic charging.
  • AUSA warns of significant detours: the link from Buenos Aires–La Plata to AU 25 de Mayo closes, Perito Moreno is cut at General Paz/Acceso Oeste, Dellepiane traffic diverts to Av. Lacarra, and Paseo del Bajo southbound exits at Retiro.
  • Electronic payment through TelePASE is mandatory, with violations for passing a pórtico without registration fined at 150 Unidades Fijas, equal to 119,776 pesos in February 2026.
  • The city reports a March start for Free Flow on upgraded sections and a staged removal of booths by June, with a 4.8% toll increase already in effect since February 1.
