Residents in Marituba, a city in the Greater Belém area, held a protest on the Alça Viária, expressing their grievances over flooding that they attribute to the construction of the Avenida Liberdade and the ongoing duplication of the PA-483. The protest highlights the frustrations of local inhabitants who are experiencing significant inconveniences due to alleged mismanagement of water drainage during these development projects.

The Avenida Liberdade is part of a larger initiative aimed at improving traffic flow into Belém, yet it has raised concerns among local residents regarding its environmental impact—particularly as it intersects with protected forest areas. Protesters argue that the construction activities have led to persistent flooding in their neighborhoods, exacerbating living conditions and prompting urgent calls for municipal intervention.

In response to the protests, local media, including G1, have reached out to the Municipal Secretary of Works and Infrastructure for a statement on the issues raised by residents. The expectation is that residents' feedback will prompt a review of the construction practices and their effects on the community, fostering a dialogue about the balance between infrastructural development and environmental preservation.
