In Fortaleza, traffic blockades and diversions will be implemented on Domingos Olímpio Avenue starting on Wednesday, February 11, due to the assembly of a Carnival stage. The stage installation will occur at the intersection with Eusébio de Souza street, impacting traffic in the direction of the city center. This event is part of the preparations for the upcoming Carnival festivities, which are significant cultural events in Brazil.

Up until February 28, designated bus lanes on the avenue will be open to all vehicles, a temporary adjustment made by the Fortaleza City Hall to facilitate access during the Carnival period. The Municipal Traffic and Citizenship Authority (AMC) will guide drivers during peak traffic times to help mitigate congestion in the area. The temporary changes in traffic patterns on Domingos Olímpio Avenue are set to remain in effect until February 20.

For drivers wishing to avoid the congested Domingos Olímpio Avenue during these days, alternative routes such as 13 de Maio, Meton de Alencar, and Clarindo de Queiroz will be recommended. These changes are crucial to ensure the smooth flow of the large influx of visitors expected for the Carnival celebrations, which are an integral part of the cultural landscape of Brazil, particularly in Fortaleza.
