Information checked on 23 September 2026 · Santiago, Chile Bus diversions listed around Compañía–Morandé and Ricardo Cumming have infrastructure works behind them: water-main renewal and repaving. Red Movilidad identifies these particular diversions as construction-related. Check the dates before travelling Ricardo Cumming: Red continues to list the works until completion, without a definite finish date. Compañía–Morandé: current operation needs verification. Red’s service index still carries this diversion, but the detailed announcement gives an end date of 4 September 2026. Those dates conflict. The route information below describes the published plan; it is not independent confirmation that it remains in operation today. Check Red’s current service information and the signs at your stop immediately before travelling. Compañía–Morandé: water-main renewal The published plan affects 402, 504, 505, 508 and 514. - 402 towards Centro: via Amunátegui and General Mackenna. Listed alternative stops include PA332, Liceo Uno, and PA353, Mercado Central. - 504 towards Hospital Dipreca; 505 towards Las Parcelas; 508 towards Av. Las Torres; 514 towards San Luis de Macul: via Amunátegui, General Mackenna, Ismael Valdés Vergara and San Antonio. The alternative to PA417 at Plaza de Armas is PA820 at Merced–San Antonio. Confirm whether these diversions still apply before changing your journey. Read Red’s detailed announcement. Ricardo Cumming: repaving near Alameda Red’s June notice describes paving works between Romero and Alameda, extending work to the eastern carriageway while earlier work continues. | Bus and direction | Published diversion | | --- | --- | | 119 and 121 towards Mapocho; J10 towards Parque Los Reyes | Alameda → Av. Brasil → Moneda | | J10 towards San Daniel | Erasmo Escala → Av. Brasil → Alameda | | J03 towards El Montijo | Via Moneda, then back to its normal route | For 119, 121 and J10 towards Parque Los Reyes, stops PA817 and PA295 are replaced by a temporary stop at Moneda–Cumming. For J10 towards San Daniel, use PA348, Parada 6 at Metro República, instead of PA818. For J03 towards El Montijo, the temporary Moneda–Cumming stop replaces PA187, PA817 and PA295. Read Red’s Cumming notice for the full stop details. Make your journey easier - Check the direction as well as the bus number. Different directions can use different temporary stops. - Allow extra time for walking to a replacement stop and for traffic around the works. No reliable additional journey time is available from these notices. - If you drive, follow street signs and authorised diversions. A bus diversion is not a route recommendation for private cars. - If you walk, use marked crossings and stay outside work barriers. If step-free access matters, check the approach to the temporary stop before setting out. These notices describe specific streets and services; they do not establish a closure across all Santiago Centro. They also do not provide evidence of protest-related violence or damage.
