Transport of large machines causes blockages on PR-151 between Palmeira and Ponta Grossa

The transport of machines on PR-151 causes one-off blockages and changes in the flow of vehicles on Sunday (27), in the stretch between Palmeira and Ponta Grossa, in the Campos Gerais. The large equipment is used in the works carried out on the highway and need to be moved between different points of the track.

The movement requires special attention of the drivers who travel on the PR-151 in both directions. During the movement and remanufacturing of the machines, some points of the highway need to be temporarily blocked to ensure the safety of workers and also of road users.

In the region of km 357, there are records of occasional interruptions precisely to allow the movement of the equipment used in the works. Depending on the operation carried out by the teams, the vehicles may need to wait for the release of the track.

Alternating flow in other sections

In addition to the temporary blockages, other points of the PR-151 present slowness and circulation through the alternating flow system. In this way, vehicles from both directions use a lane in an interspersed way while the works follow on the highway.

Transportation of machinery on the PR-151 can cause retention periods, especially during operations that require moving larger equipment down the runway.

Drivers who make the route between Palmeira and Ponta Grossa should reduce the speed as they approach the construction areas and carefully observe the signs installed on the stretch.

Attention redoubled on the highway

The teams on PR-151 guide drivers during blockades and in areas where traffic needs to be reorganized. Therefore, it is important to respect the indications of workers responsible for controlling movement.

Those who wish to use the highway this Sunday should consider the possibility of slowness and possible waiting periods during the trip.

The recommendation is to schedule the trip in advance, avoid overtaking in the construction areas and keep safe distance from other vehicles.

The stretch of PR-151 between Ponta Grossa and Palmeira has constant circulation of passenger vehicles and trucks. With the movement of the large machines used in the highway works, care needs to be strengthened in the points where there are interventions and temporary changes in circulation.
