On the occasion of the arrival in the City of two cruises with a total of 3,700 passengers plus the crew that can disembark on leave, the Local Police of Cartagena will once again activate the Safety Program for Cruise and Tourists during their stay in the Historic District .
Because of this and due to level 4 of the anti-terrorist alert, the accesses to the Historic Quarter will be stopped in a preventive manner from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 7.
Likewise, police surveillance will be intensified by the streets of the center of the city.
These street cutting measures will be repeated throughout the cruise season and will be communicated periodically.
Given the alarm generated in social networks by a citizen who spread the comment that these anti-terrorist measures prevented the entry of an ambulance to the Historic District, from Local Police of Cartagena that claim is denied and ensures, with the intention of reassuring neighbors , that the Security Program contemplates these assumptions and guarantees the entry of emergency services to this area of ​​the City.
From the Local Police lament the annoyances to which the residents of the Historic District are subjected in the use of their private vehicles, but in no case their mobility is interrupted, but subject to deviations in some of the sections to be used.
