Raúul Andrés García Suárez and Diana Vanessa Arevalo Correa report significant traffic disruptions and multiple accidents across Bogotá's main corridors.

Bogotá's mobility infrastructure faced several challenges on August 25-28, 2026, characterized by heavy congestion and multiple road incidents. Raúul Andrés García Suárez and Diana Vanessa Arevalo Correa reported a series of accidents, including a multiple collision involving a car, school bus, and truck in Usaquén, and a fatal accident in Kennedy that caused significant lane closures and delays of at least 25 minutes. Traffic flow was further impacted by the 'pico y placa' restriction, which applied to vehicles with plates ending in 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. The TransMilenio system experienced delays due to both road incidents and public manifestations in neighborhoods like Chapinero and Santa Fe. Authorities recommended that commuters plan their routes in advance using official channels to navigate the city's complex traffic landscape, which remains one of the most congested in Latin America.
