Slide causes closure on PR-239 between Telêmaco Borba and Harmonia

A ban on PR-239 has restricted the traffic of vehicles loaded on the stretch between Telêmaco Borba and Harmonia, in the Campos Gerais, from 4 p.m. on Friday (23). The measure was adopted after a landslide on the highway, as released by the 5th Company of the Road Police Battalion (BPRv).

According to the information passed on by the State Road Police, the restriction is intended for vehicles that transport cargo, especially trucks that use the stretch for the displacement between municipalities of the Paraná and other states.

The landslide motivated the adoption of the preventive measure, with the aim of reducing the risks for the drivers who circulate in the region. The guideline is for drivers to use the alternative routes indicated and plan their trips in advance.

Prohibition on PR-239: see the deviations indicated

The 5th Company of BPRv has released specific guidelines for the vehicles loaded in the units identified as MA and Puma.

For vehicles that load in the MA, the deviation must be made by the municipality of Curiúva. The guidance is intended for trucks that follow for Ponta Grossa, Curitiba, Rio Negro and Paranaguá.

Vehicles that load on the Puma should make the detour by Tibagi, especially those that have as their destination the state of São Paulo.

Alternative routes have been indicated to prevent the passage of vehicles loaded on the affected stretch and to ensure greater safety during the journey.

Restriction requires attention from truck drivers

The ban on PR-239 requires special attention from professional drivers, especially those who use the highway for the transport of goods and industrial products.

The change in the route may require adjustments in the schedule of the trips, including departure times, deliveries and displacements between the municipalities of the region.

Among the destinations mentioned in the press release is Ponta Grossa, an important point of passage for road transport on Campos Gerais.

The drivers who follow towards the city, as well as those who travel to Curitiba, Rio Negro and Paranaguá, must observe the detour orientation by Curiúva when they are in the conditions provided in the notice.

For trucks bound for São Paulo, the indication is to use the route by Tibagi.

Road crash worries drivers

The landslide recorded on the stretch between Telêmaco Borba and Harmonia led to the adoption of the restriction as of Friday afternoon.

At the moment, the statement does not inform the extent of the slippage, possible structural damage on the track or a forecast for the release of traffic of loaded vehicles.

There is also no information on a possible traffic ban for light vehicles. Therefore, the officially informed restriction refers to vehicles loaded.

The recommendation is that drivers redouble their attention, respect the signage and follow the directions of the authorities responsible for the highway.

Road Police strengthens safety guidelines

The 5th Company of the Road Police Battalion asks drivers to schedule their trips in advance and strictly follow the established deviations.

The measure seeks to preserve the safety of road users and avoid disturbances during the journey.

A forecast for the closure of the restriction on the affected stretch has not yet been released.

The BNT Online keeps track of the situation and may update the information as new official releases are released.
