The Municipality of La Plata will close this Thursday afternoon San Martin Plaza, with the aim of guaranteeing the execution of the reconstruction works and avoiding inconveniences in the area. Thus, The iconic space will be fenced from 50 to 54 and from 6 to 7 and on Friday the same will be done on streets 6 and 7 between 50 and 54.
The Commune indicated days ago that the buses that circulate in the area would stop stopping on the square, on the occasion of the start of the work. In this way, it was then reported that passengers must choose to get off at any of the options before 54 or after 50, given that the limitation will only affect those located in the descending direction of 7th Avenue and those located in front of the Buenos Aires Legislature Palace will continue to operate as usual.
What will the new Plaza San Martín be like?
The reconstruction of Plaza San Martín includes the leveling of the sections of 6th Street and 7th Avenue between 51st and 53rd Avenues, allowing a pedestrian space, and the enhancement of the sector facing the Pasaje Dardo Rocha Cultural Center with the creation of an Art and Sculpture Walk that links it with the Museum of Contemporary Latin American Art (MACLA).
It also includes the restoration of the gazebo, a soil treatment in the area of the statue in tribute to the Liberator of America General José de San Martín to highlight the scarves that symbolize the fight against the forced disappearance of people during the last dictatorship, the incorporation of trees in green sectors and the disabling of vehicle parking.
