The Juana Blanco stilt bridge in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, is set to be completely closed for ten days to undergo necessary maintenance and inspection work. The closure is scheduled to begin at 6 AM on Monday, October 16. In preparation for the planned work, informational banners and message panels will be installed starting Thursday, October 12, to guide drivers regarding the detours.

During this period, mobility agents will be stationed on-site to assist with traffic flow and provide guidance to motorists. The closure is part of a larger project proposed by the municipal government, which includes the works being executed in two distinct phases to ensure the safety and longevity of the bridge. The first phase consists of repairs and conservation of the concrete structure, which will not incur any costs to the municipality, as it falls under the warranty of the responsible construction company.

Additionally, the municipal teams will also conduct cleaning and inspection of the drainage system as part of the maintenance work. The second phase will involve a specialized company taking over further maintenance needs. This project is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of an important local infrastructure asset and ensuring the safety of its users.
