Mexico City Previews Travel Disruptions for Guadalupe Pilgrimages, Dec. 6–15

Crowd levels are forecast to crest on Dec. 12 near the Basílica.

Overview

  • Pilgrim movements are projected from Dec. 6 through Dec. 15, with the largest crowds on Dec. 12, the day of the Guadalupe celebration.
  • Officials are preparing a large operation that includes security deployment, medical support and targeted road controls around Tepeyac.
  • Traffic restrictions are anticipated on corridors such as Calzada de Guadalupe, Calzada de los Misterios, Prolongación Misterios, Martín Carrera, 5 de Febrero, Talismán, San Juan de Aragón and Euzkaro.
  • Public transport adjustments are expected, with Metrobús lines 6 and 7 likely to see station closures or slower, modified service near the Basílica.
  • The date is not a federal holiday and schools remain in session, so commuters are advised to plan routes using alternates like Insurgentes Norte, Eje 1 Norte, Eje 2 Norte, Eduardo Molina, Periférico/Río de los Remedios and Avenida Ferrocarril Hidalgo.
