Overview
- Perimeter closures and heavy security went into effect Friday, Nov. 6, in Buenos Aires with Avenida del Libertador closed between Ortega y Gasset and Olleros and wide transverse street blockages established in Palermo and Recoleta.
- Residents and workers inside Buenos Aires perimeters must prove domicile with a DNI or obtain an online QR access code while hotel guests need booking confirmation at checkpoints to enter.
- The city has cleared parking, authorized towing and offered traffic relief by making Autopista Illia and Paseo del Bajo toll-free and opening a 200-meter contracarril on Figueroa Alcorta to ease jams.
- Montevideo and national traffic authorities have enforced timed rambla closures, parking bans and bus detours on Nov. 6–8 and will impose temporary stops and circulation changes on Ruta 5 for a scheduled Juanicó stop and restricted access to Carrasco airport on Sunday.
- The national decree 1103/2026 sets public holidays for the visit (Nov. 9 national; Nov. 10 CABA and Córdoba; Nov. 11 Buenos Aires province), a measure that will reduce weekday travel but extend the period of tightened controls and service disruptions.
