A section of RJ-202 in the mountainous region of Cambuci, located in Northwest Fluminense, was completely blocked after a landslide triggered by heavy rainfall on the night of Thursday, the 12th. The municipal government confirmed that the landslide occurred around 7 PM, obstructing the road that connects the municipality to the São João do Paraíso district. The heavy rains have significantly affected the area, causing the hillside to give way and resulting in a hazardous situation for motorists.

The local authorities are currently assessing the impact of the rainfall, although there are no official reports on the total rainfall recorded during the storm. Emergency services were on-site to manage the situation, and the road remained closed throughout the night. Fortunately, as of this morning, the situation was resolved, and traffic resumed on the roadway without any reported casualties from the landslide.

This incident highlights the ongoing issues of landslides in Brazil during heavy rainfall, particularly in its mountainous regions. The municipal administration's quick response and coordination with emergency services helped to mitigate potential hazards, and the quick reopening of the road is a relief for local commuters and residents who rely on this vital link.
