That is because all of the so-called ceremonial routes reserved for the visiting dignitaries will be closed to motorists and pedestrians. The ripple effect of the closure is expected to create a massive gridlock that those who had been pushing for the holiday fear will bring the entire metropolis to a virtual standstill.
