Athletic march and festival disrupt traffic in DF this Sunday

Two events in Brazil's Federal District, the World Athletics Marching Championship and the Expomix Brasil Festival, are causing road closures and detours this Sunday (April 12). Detran-DF has deployed teams to manage vehicle flow and ensure safety. Roads on the Esplanada dos Ministérios are expected to reopen from 6pm.

On the Esplanada dos Ministérios, the World Athletics Marching Championship has closed Via S1 from the east ramp of the Brasília Bus Station to Block D. Traffic from L2 Sul heading to the Esplanada is rerouted to Buraco do Tatuí. Access to the Catedral Metropolitana parking is allowed only via the Cúria tunnel on Via S2.

In Planaltina, the Expomix Brasil Festival begins affecting traffic from 2pm. Detran-DF agents are controlling flow near the Parque de Exposições, assisting pedestrian crossings, and patrolling the area. Cones prevent illegal parking, with electronic panels guiding drivers at key points.

Changes in place since Friday persist, such as one-way traffic on Via Nossa Senhora de Fátima between Avenida Independência and the UnB campus, accessible only from Avenida Independência. Detran-DF stresses organization for road safety during the events.
