Vice-President José Alencar Tunnel to be closed for maintenance - Archive/Rio City Hall

The Vice-President José Alencar Tunnel will be closed this Thursday (26/6), in the direction of Barra da Tijuca, from 23 pm to 4 am, for maintenance services. Vehicles in the closed direction will be diverted via Serra da Grota Funda (Avenida Artur Xexéo). BRT buses heading towards Barra da Tijuca will travel along the opposite gallery lane. Buses originally traveling along the lane, towards Santa Cruz, will continue on the lane common to all vehicles.

Specific signage will be installed to guide and alert drivers, and CET-Rio operators will monitor traffic conditions and take action if necessary. In addition, traffic light times will be adjusted to ensure fluidity on detour routes and the region's main corridors.

Programming may be suspended at any time due to weather conditions or city operational issues.
