2023-05-13 20:52:03

This Sunday will take place, along with the celebration of Mother’s Day, the Santiago Marathon 2023which will contemplate the intervention of 980 crossings in the Metropolitan region and 1,100 police officers will be deployed.

From Carabineros they recognized that tomorrow will not be easy and that congestion will be generated, for which they called on people to plan their trips, use public transport, but above all to be tolerant.

Colonel Emilio Teixidor, prefect of Carabineros Traffic and Highways, reported that the Detours will begin at 7:00 a.m. and will last until approximately 2:00 p.m.

“Tomorrow the Santiago Marathon will take place, a test that will bring together approximately 30,000 participants and because of this, the police are going to be deployed very early in the morning, with all our means, to provide security for both the people who are going to participate in this sporting event, as well as the people who are going to do their daily lives in the Metropolitan region”indicated.

In the same way, he recommended that the participants of the sporting event take the Metro to the ellipse of Parque O’Higgins because there will be no parking spaces in the sector. In that context it is Lines 1 and 2 will be operational from 6:00 a.m.

For the development of the Marathon, more than 980 crossings will be intervened in the Metropolitan region. This in the following communes: Santiago, Providencia, Las Condes, Vitacura, Peñalolén and La Reina.

Calling on the population to opt for the Metro, the prefect added that if it is necessary to leave by vehicle, the recommendation is to prefer the highways for road intervention.

Detours available in Waze

To facilitate the information to the population, in coordination with the Traffic Control Operational Unit, it was arranged that the detours be uploaded to the Waze application. With this they seek to avoid the generation of congestion.

The prefect recognized that Sunday will be a complex day in terms of roads: “Traditionally, Mother’s Day is a day in which there is greater mobility, therefore, if we add the traffic diversions that there will be due to the Santiago Marathon, it will not be an easy day in the Metropolitan region”, he stated and called on the drivers to be tolerant.
