Boa Vista has 18 streets and avenues with interdiction points and detours for Carnival; see which ones

For Carnival 2026, traffic in Boa Vista will be impacted at 18 points between February 11 and 18 due to temporary roadblocks.

The upcoming Carnival in Boa Vista, scheduled from February 11 to 18, 2026, will significantly affect traffic across the city with a total of 18 locations facing temporary roadblocks. These changes, which began on Wednesday, are designed to facilitate the setup for Carnival festivities, impacting eight avenues and ten streets. Key areas of impact include several intersections along Avenida Capitão Ene Garcez, which will see strong restrictions to accommodate the event's infrastructural needs.

Specific locations experiencing full closures during the Carnival festivities will include critical intersections, primarily along Av. Capitão Ene Garcez, affecting public access and vehicular movement during scheduled times. These restrictions are planned from early morning on February 14 through February 18, ensuring a smooth flow for crowds attending the event but also posing challenges for daily commuters and local residents. Interventions such as these highlight how large-scale events like Carnival necessitate substantial logistical adjustments within the city’s traffic management system.

As preparation continues, residents and visitors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the affected routes and plan alternative travel options to ease their journey through the city. The authorities aim to ensure public safety while allowing for the festive spirit of Carnival to be enjoyed, but it underscores the importance of effective communication regarding road changes to mitigate inconvenience during this busy season.
