Landslide causes closure and diversion on stretch of highway in the interior of São Paulo

A landslide has partially closed the Pedro Bosco Highway in Pardinho, São Paulo, due to heavy rains causing erosion.

A landslide has led to the partial closure of the Pedro Bosco Highway (SPA-007/209) in Pardinho, São Paulo, as soil from an eroded hillside descended onto the roadway. The concessionary company managing the highway has already marked the site for repair work. This incident is linked to similar closures earlier this month on other roads in the region, such as the Geraldo de Barros Highway (SP-304) between Torrinha and Santa Maria da Serra, where roadblocks were also enacted due to erosion issues. Official responses reveal that the ongoing repair work at kilometer 16+500 of the Pedro Bosco Highway is part of the efforts to address the impacts of strong rainfall that has hit the area last week, contributing to further safety risks along the route.
