City Hall announces works to combat flooding in downtown Campo Grande.

The mayor of Rio, Eduardo Cavaliere, announced last Friday (October 2nd) works to reinforce drainage and combat flooding points in 16 streets in the center of Campo Grande, in the West Zone. The initiative will cover more than 34,000 square meters in an area important to the daily life of the most populous neighborhood in Brazil. The planned investment is over R$ 34 million, and the execution will be the responsibility of the Rio-Águas Foundation, linked to the Municipal Secretariat of Infrastructure.

 

"We are transforming the Campo Grande neighborhood with infrastructure projects, and today, after much technical study, we are announcing the works to solve the historical flooding problem in this region," said the mayor, Eduardo Cavaliere.

 

One of the phases will start on Rua Gramado and extend along nine other streets, including João Telles, Tiaraju, and Erechim. The paving will cover 10,5 square meters, while 6,6 square meters of new sidewalks will improve conditions for pedestrians and residents. Drainage will be reinforced with 1,2 kilometers of network, helping to improve water runoff and reduce accumulation on the roads. Approximately 16 square meters of public area will be transformed.

 

The other phase includes Estrada do Pré and Rua Camaipi, reaching four more surrounding streets. The drainage network will be 1,3 kilometers long, increasing the capacity for rainwater runoff. The paving and sidewalks will also be upgraded, with 12,2 square meters of roads and 6 square meters of paving, facilitating the movement of those who live and circulate in the region. The total area covered is 18,2 square meters. Approximately 11 residents will directly benefit from the improvements.

 

"These are two important projects for the Campo Grande region to combat flooding in these critical areas. Significant investments to finally end this problem," said the Secretary of Infrastructure, Wanderson Santos.
