The works are part of the concessionaire's 100-Day Plan, which foresees the recovery of points considered critical on the highways. Among the services performed are pavement recovery, installation of safety devices and conservation actions, such as mowing, tree pruning and painting of bridge guardrails.

According to the company, during the holiday period, no activities that require the implementation of the stop and go system will be carried out on the stretches managed by the concessionaire.

Even without the presence of work teams on the tracks, drivers are advised to take extra care behind the wheel.

"Holidays tend to see a significant increase in traffic flow and, consequently, the risk of accidents increases. The guidance for drivers remains the same: respect the speed of the road, the signage, do not overtake in prohibited areas and never drive after drinking drinks", highlighted Gilson Rocha, Road Safety specialist at Ecovias das Gerais.

The concessionaire informed that it is preparing the highways for the start of full operation, scheduled for November, when it will begin offering lane monitoring, medical and mechanical assistance and 24-hour support.

Until the beginning of this phase, users who need assistance must contact the Federal Highway Police (PRF), by calling 191, or the Mobile Emergency Assistance Service (Samu), by calling 192.
