Around 1.3 million vehicles are expected on the access roads to Baixada Santista between this Friday (30) and Tuesday (3), due to the All Souls' Day holiday, celebrated on Monday (2). The estimate considers the stretches managed by Ecovias Imigrantes and Concessionária Novo Litoral (CNL).

During the period, special operations will be carried out to make traffic more fluid in the busiest directions.

The CNL expects around 957,000 vehicles to pass through the roads under its administration. Ecovias Imigrantes estimates circulation of up to 342 thousand through the Anchieta-Imigrantes System (SAI).

Depending on traffic conditions, a reversible lane may be implemented on the Mogi-Bertioga Highway, in addition to measures to improve circulation in the Riviera de São Lourenço region, in Bertioga.
