A crater reopened on the central lane of Marginal Tietê in São Paulo, on Sunday (11), near the exit of the Bandeirantes Highway. The incident occurred in the same place where there was a similar problem about a month ago.
Second Roberval Tavares Sabesp Engineering Director, the cause of the new sinking is related to a fissure in an inspection box of an 18 meter deep sewage interceptor.
The structure is responsible for bringing sewage from northern São Paulo for treatment at Barueri station.
Total reconstruction of the structure
Unlike the previous approach, when only corrective maintenance was performed, this time Sabesp opted for a more definitive solution.
“We’ll get to the box, let’s rebuild it and build a visit well,” explained Tavares.
It is expected that the works will last about 30 days, with teams working 24 hours a day. Sabesp plans to release a traffic track by Wednesday (14) and possibly two lanes by the end of the week to minimize traffic disorders.
Traffic Impact
Blocking on the central track of Marginal Tietê caused significant congestion in the region. The road, which is already naturally moved, especially on Mondays, faced a “knot” in traffic, affecting drivers from the interior, from the east and north of the capital.
Authorities recommend that if possible drivers avoid the region, especially at peak times, while the works are underway.
The situation should remain critical in the coming weeks, until there is a gradual release of traffic bands.
