Traffic in that area does gets somewhat heavy at times, especially at the intersection with the road that connects to the cemetery (the shopping center will be in that area), and with all the new residential projects under construction it will only get worse.

That's where I lived, and the reason I sold and moved elsewhere. The traffic is unbearable.

That whole area is filling up with new giant moderate density middle class developments such as this one:

While the access roads built by the government are simply not designed to handle the ever growing traffic and much of the area is still green. While that may seem good for now, none of those areas are designated scientific reserves or national/urban parks, and that leaves them open for more massive middle class car dependent developments.

In the Redici?n de Cuentas 2015 the president mentioned that soon work will start on the expansion of the Rep?blica de Colombia. I don't know if by expansion he means adding new lanes or expanding the route of the road towards somewhere.
