Buses passing by Domingos Olímpio avenue will be diverted due to Carnival stage; see lines
Bus lines in Fortaleza, Brazil, are being rerouted due to the construction of a Carnival stage on Domingos Olímpio Avenue.
In Fortaleza, Brazil, the construction of a Carnival stage on Domingos Olímpio Avenue has led to a partial roadblock, affecting 22 bus lines that travel through and near the area. These changes are implemented to accommodate the Carnival celebrations scheduled until February 20. Passengers using affected lines will need to navigate to new bus stops as the original stops in the blocked section will be inactive during this period.
The stage for the Carnival celebrations has been set up near the intersection of Domingos Olímpio Avenue and Aguanambi Avenue, impacting transit in the direction from the city center to the Aldeota neighborhood. Moreover, one lane of the avenue in the direction from Papicu to Antônio Bezerra is also partially closed due to the setup for audience seating at the festivities, which adds to the traffic adjustments in the area.
Alongside the rerouting of bus lines, which includes changes to traffic flow, the alterations will remain in place until February 20. Transit authorities have made these adjustments to ensure safe passage for both public transport and vehicular traffic during one of Brazil's most significant cultural events, the Carnival, which draws large crowds and requires careful logistical planning to manage the influx of people and vehicles in the city.
