The Rafael Mascarenhas Acoustic Tunnel will be closed for renovation works - Marcos de Paula/City of Rio CET-Rio has set up a special traffic plan for the Rebouças, Zuzu Angel and Rafael Mascarenhas tunnels due to the structural and revitalization works on these three important traffic routes in the city. The City Hall began renovations on the three tunnels this Friday (3/6).
The Rebouças Tunnel will be closed in the direction of Lagoa from Sunday to Thursday, from 22 pm to 5 am. In this first stage, the closures are scheduled to occur until December 19. To minimize the impacts of the intervention and to make a detour viable, vehicles traveling from Rio Comprido towards Lagoa must follow the reversible lane that will be set up in the gallery in the opposite direction.

– Rebouças is the city’s main tunnel. That’s why we’re planning the interventions at night. When we have a big game at Maracanã, we’ll delay the start of the closure a little to allow fans to leave – explained CET-Rio president Joaquim Dinis.
The Zuzu Angel and Acústico Rafael Mascarenhas tunnels will be closed for the first stage of the work, in the direction of Gávea, from Sunday to Thursday, from 22 pm to 5 am, until July 28. Traffic will be diverted to Avenida Niemeyer, which will operate in two directions.
To enable routine maintenance of the Zuzu Angel and Acústico Rafael Mascarenhas tunnels, the closure will be in the opposite direction (São Conrado) on 15/6, 29/6, 13/7 and 27/7, always on Wednesdays, from 23:50 pm to 4:30 am. On these days, the closure in the direction of Gávea will be suspended.
Specific signage will be installed to guide and alert drivers, and traffic conditions will be monitored for possible impacts.
