Heavy rainfall in the past few days has caused a section of the Geraldo de Barros highway (SP-304) between Torrinha and Santa Maria da Serra to be closed for emergency repairs. The local highway concessionaire, Eixo SP, announced that work will begin on Thursday, the 26th, to address areas affected by erosion. Their priority is to allow traffic to resume as quickly and as safely as possible.

The temporary closure, which affects the road segment between kilometers 228 and 243, is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of drivers until conditions stabilize. This measure follows a history of similar incidents in the region, including a substantial landslide that occurred in 2024, which made the passage impassable for vehicles, demonstrating the area's vulnerability to extreme weather conditions.

The announcement aims to keep the public informed and emphasizes the importance of infrastructure maintenance in mitigating risks associated with heavy rains. The local authorities are working diligently to resolve the situation, with the hope that once the repairs are completed, the area will be safer for both local and traveling motorists.
