The closure of Beira Mar Avenue will begin this Saturday.
SMTT is responsible for reorganizing traffic in the north and south directions of the road, providing fluidity and safety to local traffic; there are six points of physical intervention in the new Beira Mar route, between the Anísio Azevedo access and the Yacht Club.
Sergipe 247 - In compliance with a court order, the Aracaju City Hall will carry out road work on Avenida Beira Mar starting at 5 am this Saturday (4). The action is part of the service that will be carried out as an emergency measure in the 13 de Julho dock area. In this process, the Municipal Superintendence of Transport and Traffic is responsible for reorganizing traffic in the north and south directions of the road, providing fluidity and safety in local traffic. There are six points of physical intervention in the new route of Beira Mar, between the access to Avenida Anísio Azevedo and the Yacht Club.
The first change affects those leaving the city center and heading towards the beaches: all north/south traffic will be diverted via Celso Oliva Street. Beira Mar will be blocked for straight ahead. Therefore, this street will be one-way and parking will be prohibited on the left side. The Beira Mar bus stop, located after the Iate curve, will also be temporarily relocated to Celso Oliva Street. All bus lines that circulate on Beira Mar will pass through this stop temporarily and resume their normal route after the diversion.
Citizens will notice the second road intervention at the end of Celso Oliva Street, which will have two traffic options: those wishing to go to the city center should turn right onto the street and take Vila Cristina as usual. But if they wish to continue along Beira Mar, they will turn left. At this point, drivers will have the option of continuing along Vereador João Calazans Street, then Avenida Anísio Azevedo, and finally Beira Mar. This section is near the Epiphânio Dória Public Library.
Once the driver is on Anísio Azevedo Avenue, they will have the option of continuing north along Beira Mar via the detour or south in the normal flow. Then, turning left, after a few meters, the roadwork begins (towards the city center). The right lane is closed and traffic is diverted in the opposite direction until the tangent curve near the Yacht Club, where northbound traffic is restored and continues on the upper road.
According to Superintendent Nelson Felipe da Silva Filho, the measure is as simple and efficient as possible. There are approximately 90 signage items, including explanatory banners and signs that guide citizens regarding the change in direction, new traffic flow, and parking prohibitions. To make the operation safer, traffic officers will be working around the clock throughout the entire area.
