This Wednesday (27th) the special operation began, set up by EPR Sul de Minas, due to the long Easter holiday. Between Thursday (28) and Sunday (31), the concessionaire estimates that around 150 thousand vehicles should pass through the highways in the south of Minas. The largest concentration is expected for BR-459 and MG-173, a highway that provides access to the coast of São Paulo and the city of Aparecida.
In addition to the increase in traffic on the highways, the company also warns of the presence of pilgrims walking towards Aparecida at this time of year. The route known as “Caminho da Fé” passes through sections managed by EPR, such as Inconfidentes, Borda da Mata, Ouro Fino and Paraisópolis. This route has an average annual flow of 20 thousand travelers and is usually heavily traveled during Holy Week.
“We are, however, prepared to receive all people who wish to pass through the southern parts of Minas Gerais, but it is worth highlighting that keeping vehicle maintenance up to date contributes to a smooth and safe trip”, explains executive director Érica Kawatake.
Construction
During the special operation, works that require closures on sections will be suspended. EPR Sul de Minas will also intensify the User SOS service with extra operational teams and resources.
