there will be changes and restrictions on some routes.
Regarding the buses, it was reported that the following lines could change their route: 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 37, 39 , 45, 50, 56, 59, 60, 64, 67, 70, 75, 86, 90, 91, 96, 98, 99, 100, 102, 103, 105, 109, 111, 115, 124, 126, 140 , 146, 150, 168 and 180.
The only subway line that will have modifications will be line A that will run with limited service between the San Pedrito and Plaza Miserere stations, from 7 am until the end of the act in Congress.
In what will be his fourth opening of an annual Legislative Assembly, the head of state will inaugurate the new parliamentary year in a ceremony that will
begin at 11 am in the Chamber of Deputies.
Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will be in charge of the formal rigors of the event and will receive the president on the esplanade of the Legislative Palace on Entre Ríos Avenue, to later escort him to the Blue Room of the Senate to sign the minute book.
Unlike the previous three years, Fernández de Kirchner will be accompanied by the new president of the lower house, Cecilia Moreau, who last year replaced the current economy minister, Sergio Massa, in leading that body.
