On the night of Thursday, October 19, and into the early morning of Friday, October 20, the Presidente Dutra highway in São José dos Campos experienced a total closure in the direction of Rio de Janeiro. This closure was necessary to facilitate the installation of beams for pedestrian bridges along the urban stretch of the highway. The operation was executed by the managing company, RioSP, which ensured that the work was carried out smoothly without any incidents.

The simultaneous operation involved the precise positioning of beams at specific locations, namely kilometers 149.724 and 150.376, indicating a significant step in improving infrastructure within the region. The successful completion of this operation highlights the ongoing efforts of local authorities and highway management in enhancing transportation facilities and ensuring the safety of pedestrians by installing proper crossings over major roads.

Such infrastructural improvements are essential for reducing traffic congestion and increasing road safety. The timely execution of this operation demonstrates effective planning and coordination by RioSP, benefiting commuters and residents of São José dos Campos while contributing to the overall enhancement of the highway system in Brazil.
