Pope's Visit Sparks Citywide Closures
Montevideo is experiencing widespread traffic disruptions as Pope Leo XIV prepares to visit the city, per El País.
The Vatican has confirmed that the pontiff will arrive on Saturday for a two-day stay, prompting authorities to implement a series of road closures and transit detours throughout the capital.
The city's transport system has adapted with new routes and schedules to accommodate the papal tour, which is expected to draw large crowds.
The pope's visit is also being met with strong public interest in the secular nation of Uruguay, where his arrival marks a rare moment of religious significance in recent years.
