Starting this Thursday, a section of the BR-135 highway in Bocaiuva will undergo a complete closure for construction activities, specifically at kilometer 142. The closure has been announced by the concessionaire Eco135, which states that the work is necessary for the installation of expansion joints in the overpass. These components are crucial for the structural integrity and safety of the bridge. While the roadway will be closed for vehicles, pedestrian access will remain open throughout the construction period.

The expected duration of the closure is about five days; however, it may end sooner depending on weather conditions and the progress of the work. During this time, motorists are advised to follow alternative routes for their travel. Specific return points have been designated nearby, including one near the bus terminal at kilometer 411 and another at kilometer 414 leading to Olhos d'Água. The concessionaire also noted that temporary signage will be put in place to guide drivers and ensure safety during this period of disruption.

This construction is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the infrastructure of the Brazilian highway system, particularly in urban areas. Such interventions are necessary to enhance safety and efficiency for all road users. Given the closure in a localized urban area, the impact will mainly affect local traffic but highlights the importance of infrastructure upkeep in facilitating mobility and transport efficiency in Brazil.
