A section of Avenida Autaz Mirim in Manaus will be closed at night for gas company Cigás construction work, starting from October 23 until March 16, 2024.
The Manaus City Hall will implement a night closure of Avenida Autaz Mirim starting on Monday, October 23, to facilitate construction work by the Companhia de Gás do Amazonas (Cigás). The closure will affect the direction from São José to Cidade de Deus and will take place from 10 PM to 5 AM, lasting until March 16, 2024. It will specifically impact the stretch between Avenida Hilário Gurjão and Avenida Itaúba, located near the Rei Pelé viaduct.
According to the Municipal Institute of Urban Mobility (IMMU), the nighttime construction schedule is designed to minimize disruption during peak traffic hours. Motorists will be required to take alternate routes, entering right onto Avenida Brigadeiro Hilário Gurjão, turning right onto Avenida Itaúba, and then returning to Avenida Autaz Mirim. Drivers are advised to decrease speed and be especially vigilant when navigating through the work zone.
The article also mentions that several bus lines, including lines 014, 352, 355, 418, 600, 602, 650, 651, and 652, will be affected by these road closures, which highlights the broader impact on public transport during this period. The coordination of construction and traffic management aims to ensure that the works proceed with minimal inconvenience to motorists and commuters alike.
