A traffic accident occurred on Highway BR-156 at kilometer 232, the bridge over Igarapé do Lago, in Amapá, Brazil, on Tuesday, October 10, involving two vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the damage was limited to material losses. According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the vehicles were removed by their drivers, allowing traffic to resume normally. However, the PRF noted that the terrain conditions in the area might have contributed to the incident, highlighting ongoing infrastructural concerns along the highway.

At the same time, the PRF reported a total blockage at kilometer 77 of Highway BR-210 due to fallen trees on the road. This closure began around 1:25 PM and temporarily disrupted traffic in the area. The situation required intervention from the National Department of Infrastructure Transportation to clear the blocked roadway. These incidents reflect the challenges faced by the transportation infrastructure in Amapá, especially in adverse weather conditions, which can exacerbate existing issues.

Both incidents underscore the importance of ongoing infrastructure maintenance and monitoring, particularly on critical routes like BR-156, which connects Macapá to the southern parts of the state. The local authorities are encouraged to address these infrastructural deficiencies to ensure the safety and efficiency of road travel in the region, preventing future accidents and ensuring prompt responses to weather-related disruptions.
