João Pessoa conducts extensive urban maintenance and road repairs
The city of João Pessoa conducted extensive urban maintenance and infrastructure repairs throughout September. The Municipal Government, through its various secretariats, focused on both public equipment and road networks.
The Secretariat of Urban Development (Sedurb) carried out 163 maintenance actions across 19 neighborhoods. These services targeted public markets, cemeteries, and popular shopping centers, including cleaning, painting, electrical and hydraulic repairs, and landscaping. Specific improvements were noted in the Castelo Branco, Torre, and Jaguaribe markets, as well as the São José Cemetery.
Simultaneously, the Secretariat of Infrastructure (Seinfra) executed 894 pavement recovery services via the ‘Operação Tapa-Buraco’ program. This operation covered 54 neighborhoods, with the Mangabeira district receiving the highest number of interventions. The program utilizes artificial intelligence and a specialized vehicle, the CityRover, to map potholes and coordinate repairs to improve traffic flow and road durability.
