The road north of Roraima should be restored within 48 hours

After heavy rain this Friday, May 19, part of the bridge at kilometer 615 of the BR-174 highway in Amajari, north of Roraima, collapsed. The Department of National Transport Infrastructure (TNIT) estimates it will take 48 hours to resolve the failure.

This was announced by the regional supervisor of Dnit-RR, Igo Brasil.

Falling from the bridge over the Aningal stream, needs realignment. This area is located about 12 kilometers after the municipal entrance.

“I was at the broken bridge. At 4:30 p.m., the material is expected to start arriving at the site for storage,” said Igo Brazil, quoted by the Folha PV portal.

Tinit mobilized its own forces and groups from the Brazilian Army to solve the problem of blocking the division.

The sinkhole crashed into the bridge, injuring three people, two of whom were transferred by Samu (Mobile Emergency Service) to Teleo Dubinamba Hospital in Bakaraima.

The highway is closed, but the authorities recommend two alternative routes from Boa Vista to Pacaraima: one of them, 230 kilometers long, is the BR-433, from the entrance to Surumu to the BR-401 (Normandia and Bonfim).

The other, 220 kilometers long, departs from BR-433 (Surumu entrance) and passes through Vila Pasarao area. Both routes are dirt roads.

Folha BV announced that the ban was already creating huge queues at the only gas station in Pacaraima.
