The Capitol District announced earlier this week that it will temporarily close an avenue on Sunday, Jan. 4, for the celebration of the traditional Three Kings Day visit from Juana Díaz, to guarantee the safety and smooth running of the family event.

Capitol District Superintendent Jazmín Orengo Pacheco said the closure will begin at 5 a.m., and the roadway is expected to reopen around 5 p.m., once the event concludes.

The thoroughfare that will remain closed is Muñoz Rivera Avenue, specifically at the intersection with Reverend Gerardo Dávila Street, while traffic will be diverted onto the latter street for the duration of the event.

To manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of attendees, the Capitol District will have the support of the San Juan Municipal Police, the Puerto Rico Police assigned to the Capitol, and traffic personnel stationed in the area.

Authorities urged drivers to plan alternate routes and asked the public to cooperate with the security measures established during the Three Kings Day celebration, which brings together hundreds of families on the Capitol grounds.
