The Ministerio de Comunicaciones of Guatemala used its official Twitter account on December 1, 2025, to inform the public about upcoming road closures and reaffirm its commitment to social issues.
In a tweet posted at 22:33 UTC, the ministry addressed drivers using Calzada Roosevelt: " Si circulas por la Calzada Roosevelt, esta información es para ti. Esta semana habrá cierres nocturnos por los trabajos del paso a desnivel, y es importante que conozcas los horarios y desvíos para evitar contratiempos." The message aimed to alert motorists about nighttime closures due to ongoing construction work and encouraged them to stay informed about schedules and detours.
Shortly after, at 22:33 UTC, the ministry followed up with another post providing further guidance: " Lee la nota completa y planifica tu recorrido: https://t.co/udv36NDXlQ Conducir informado es conducir seguro. #CIV #FSS #CalzadaRoosevelt #Tránsito" This tweet directed users to additional information for trip planning and stressed the importance of driving with awareness.
Later that evening, at 23:12 UTC, the ministry marked an international observance by stating: "En el Día Internacional para la Eliminación de las Violencias contra las Mujeres, reafirmamos nuestro firme compromiso de construir una Guatemala donde cada niña y mujer viva libre de violencia. #CambiemosLasFormas @GuatemalaGob @SEPREMGUATEMALA @SCSPGT" The post reiterated support for efforts aimed at eliminating violence against women in Guatemala.
The Calzada Roosevelt is a major thoroughfare in Guatemala City frequently affected by infrastructure projects intended to improve traffic flow. Nighttime closures are part of ongoing upgrades including underpass construction designed to ease congestion for commuters. Public advisories such as those issued by the Ministerio de Comunicaciones aim to keep residents informed and minimize disruptions.
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is observed annually on November 25. It seeks global action toward ending gender-based violence and promoting safety for women and girls worldwide.
