This Wednesday, Cuban authorities implemented a complete shutdown of vehicle traffic on a section of the Wajay Road, located close to the José Martí International Airport. This unexpected decision was made without further explanation from the authorities.
The Havana Provincial Transport Company released an official statement indicating that, following directives from the police, this crucial road segment would be closed. The affected area stretches from the Julio Díaz Hospital (Fontanar) to the junction with the road leading to Terminal 3 of the airport. The disruption is scheduled to occur from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on December 11, as mentioned in the announcement.
During this time frame, buses on Routes A15 and 450 will be rerouted to maintain their regular schedules, adjusting to the new paths necessitated by the traffic halt, as highlighted in the statement.
The announcement merely states that the closure is part of a planned operation by local authorities, yet it lacks an explanation for this unusual move, sparking frustration among several Cubans on social media platforms like Facebook.
