A section of Comandante Costa Street in Cuiabá will be blocked starting at 8:30 AM on Wednesday, February 11, to facilitate drainage construction carried out by the utility company Águas Cuiabá. The closure is expected to last until February 17, covering a total of five business days. The city administration has indicated that this blockage is crucial to continue drainage works in the Prainha basin, as the previous works on Marechal Deodoro Avenue have been completed, allowing progress to another area in the region.

The company responsible for the works announced that the street will be closed from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, excluding weekends. The affected stretch is specifically between the intersection of 12 de Outubro Street and Avenida Mato Grosso, with local authorities advising drivers to avoid this area during the closure. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to improve the urban drainage system in Cuiabá and mitigate flooding issues during heavy rainfall.

The municipal government's focus on improving drainage infrastructure indicates their commitment to addressing ongoing urban challenges that affect transportation and public safety during adverse weather conditions. The completion of this project is expected to enhance the overall infrastructure and decrease the likelihood of flooding, ultimately benefiting residents and streamlining traffic in the affected neighborhoods.
