Vice-President José Alencar Tunnel to be closed for maintenance - Archive/Rio City Hall The Presidente Itamar Franco Overpass and the Luiz Jacques de Moraes and Paulo César Marcellino Figueiredo tunnels will be closed this Tuesday (10/6) from 23 pm to 4:30 am for routine maintenance. The alternative for drivers will be to follow the upper deck of the Elevado das Bandeiras, which will operate in the direction of Barra da Tijuca.
The Vice-President José Alencar Tunnel will be closed in the direction of Santa Cruz from 23 p.m. to 4 a.m. for maintenance and cleaning services. Vehicles in the closed direction will be diverted via Serra da Grota Funda (Avenida Artur Xexéo). BRT buses heading towards Santa Cruz will travel along the opposite gallery lane. Buses originally traveling along the lane towards Barra will continue on the lane common to all vehicles.
At all scheduled closures, specific signage will be installed to guide and alert drivers, and CET-Rio operators will monitor traffic conditions and, if necessary, take action. In addition, traffic light times will be adjusted to ensure fluidity on detour routes and on the main corridors in the regions.
Programming may be suspended at any time due to weather conditions or city operational issues.
