Works on the Visconde de Mauá rotary alter traffic in Ponta Grossa

Prefeitura de Ponta Grossa is making adjustments at a roundabout on Avenida Visconde de Mauá, in the Oficinas neighborhood. The interventions seek to improve the circulation of vehicles and facilitate access to the Ibirapuera gardens, Amalia and other nearby communities. During the execution of the services, drivers may encounter traffic jams and changes.

The improvements are part of the counterparts provided for in the Neighbourhood Impact Study (NIA) of Max Wholesaler. The works are carried out by the company itself, without costs for the Municipality, as part of the requirements related to the installation of the enterprise in the region.

Works can cause blockages and deviations

In addition to the interventions in the Avenida Visconde de Mauá, the works also contemplate the accesses through the streets Professor Carrel, Spix and Almeida Garret.

Among the main changes are the enlargement of the runways, the expansion of the radius of the roundabout and the implementation of a new road signage.

During the execution of the works, the passage between the two avenue runways may be temporarily interrupted. In such cases, drivers should use the returns at the end of the road or at the traffic lights towards the Centre.

The guidance is that drivers and motorcyclists redouble their attention when driving in the region, especially due to the presence of machines, workers and possible deviations in the flow of vehicles.

Improvements seek to give more fluidity to traffic

The adaptations were defined from studies carried out jointly with the Research and Planning Institute of Ponta Grossa (Iplan).

The survey identified the need for interventions to reduce waiting time at the roundabout, facilitate conversions and returns, and improve access to secondary streets.

The changes should also contribute to the circulation of freight vehicles that supply the Max Wholesaler, in addition to benefiting the customers of the establishment and residents who use daily the Avenida Visconde de Mauá.

Other works are planned as a counterpart to the development, including the extension and paving of the streets Frei Luiz de Souza and Viscount of Santo Tyrso, located nearby.

Understand how the Neighbourhood Impact Study works

The Neighbourhood Impact Study is an instrument used to assess the effects that new ventures can have on a city’s infrastructure and public services.

The procedure considers factors such as increased vehicle flow, population growth, need for improvements in roads and possible impacts on areas such as health and education.

Based on this assessment, measures are established to minimize the effects of the installation of large enterprises.

In Ponta Grossa, Iplan participates in the definition of the necessary interventions, while the companies responsible for the projects implement the improvements provided as counterparts, without using municipal resources for these works.

The expectation is that, after the completion of the works in the Avenida Visconde de Mauá, the region will have better traffic conditions and greater safety for road users.
