Agetran schedules extensive Sunday road closures in Salvador

The Municipal Transport and Traffic Agency (Agetran) released a detailed plan for road closures on Sunday, 26 May, across several districts of Salvador. Early‑morning interruptions begin at 06:00 on Rua 26 de Agosto between Rua Joaquim Dorneles and Rua Guia Lopes for a community convention, with detours via Avenida Afonso Pena and Rua Guia Lopes. From 07:00 to 12:00, a social event in Vila Piratininga blocks Rua Armando Holanda, redirecting traffic through Rua Marcos Ferrez and surrounding streets.

A large cycling ride runs from 07:00 to 11:00, affecting Rua Marechal Hermes, Rua Jerusalém, Avenida Presidente Vargas, Avenida Florestal, Rua Yokohama, Avenida José Linhares and Rua Náutico; Agetran will restore flow progressively after cyclists pass. In the afternoon and evening, cultural activities cause further closures: the “Paquera na Avenida” festival in Coophavila II blocks Avenida Marinha from 15:00 to 23:59; a religious gathering at Carandá Bosque shuts Rua Nero de Lerina da Silva between 16:00 and 22:00; and July festivals block Rua Laura Vicuña in Centro‑Oeste and Rua Serra da Boa Esperança in Mata do Jacinto from 18:00 until midnight.

Drivers are advised to plan routes ahead, reduce speed near event areas, stay alert for pedestrians and obey all posted signs and traffic officers.
