Regional Avenue is seriously affected by the heavy rains that hit the city, causing flooding, accumulation of mud and trapped vehicles, which has generated a total collapse of mobility in this important road corridor. Drivers and pedestrians report scenes of true chaos, with traffic jams that extend for several kilometers and people trying to move through puddles and mud.
The Medellín Mobility Secretariat confirmed that the damage is mainly concentrated on the eastern road, near Bancolombia, and recommended traveling with caution. Despite the intervention of emergency teams, the road remains congested and slow, so drivers are advised to look for alternative routes until the situation normalizes.
