As a warm-up for Dominicana Moda, the premier fashion week in the Dominican Republic that opens next week at the Hotel Embajador, organizers will be hosting an event with fashion shows and fashion sales in the participating stores on Winston Churchill Avenue, mainly Acropolis and Blue Mall, which will cause some traffic diversions. The City Government of Santo Domingo warns that the section of the main thoroughfare between Rafael Augusto Sanchez and David Ben Gurion cross streets in a south-north direction will be closed to traffic from 4pm to midnight this Friday, 19 October. For the event, it says that vehicles traveling north on Winston Churchill can turn east onto Rafael Augusto Sanchez, and then turn to the south on Freddy Prestol Castillo Street to David Ben Gurion Street, and then take a turn east to retake Winston Churchill Avenue. Freddy Prestol Castillo Street, which is normally one-way north-south, will be changed to a south-north direction for the detour.
