The Ibiúna City Hall resolved, on the morning of this Monday (19), the problem identified at the head of the bridge in the Puris neighborhood. The issue was detected on Sunday (18), when erosion caused a hole to open in the asphalt and led to the preventive closure of the stretch.
The problem may have been caused by the high volume of rain, which raised the water level and increased the strength of the current at the site. Although the opening was about 70 centimeters in diameter, it was found that the soil beneath the asphalt was hollow, which required the closure to ensure the safety of drivers.
After the repairs were carried out by City Hall teams, vehicle traffic was reopened still this Monday.
The City Hall clarifies that the problem was restricted to the head of the bridge, with no damage identified in the bridge structure.
