2 min read

Since August 12th, São Paulo residents have faced the Marginal Tietê blocked in sections towards Castelo Branco. The first closure occurs on the access lane to the Fábio Lazzari Bridge, in the right lane. The second, in turn, is on the central lane of Marginal Tietê, towards Castelo Branco, at the Cruzeiro do Sul Bridge, in the left lane.

The works that justify these closures aim to structurally restore the Cruzeiro do Sul Bridge – Journalist Ary Silva. The deadline is 45 days, which means they must only be completed on September 26th.

Why is Marginal Tietê closed?

The restoration work on the Cruzeiro do Sul Bridge actually began in September 2023, according to the Municipal Secretariat of Urban Infrastructure and Works (SIURB).

The closure, which only occurred in August this year, is necessary for “the assembly of a platform at the bottom of the bridge, where vehicles circulate, for structural recovery services”, according to the secretariat.

Finally, when asked about the impacts of closing a section of Marginal Tietê for more than a month, the CET responded that “intervention plans consider the complexity, scope, duration and urgency of each project and always seek to minimize the impact on the flow of vehicles”.

In a note, the Traffic Engineering Company (CET-SP) stated that, on Marginal Tietê, “the traffic flow will be channeled to the remaining lanes, next to the closure”. However, a long-term project like this causes constant disruption to traffic in the capital of São Paulo.

More than 4,000 works

This is just one of several works that are currently closed to São Paulo. On August 21, in the city of São Paulo, there were “4,026 works in progress with some type of occupation of public roads. They range from small traffic channels to total road closures with indication of alternative routes”, states CET.

Finally, of these more than 4 thousand works, 383 of them were expected to be completed within 48 hours, according to the company.
