Traffic and infrastructure issues in Rio de Janeiro

Overview

The state of Rio de Janeiro has experienced various transportation challenges involving highway incidents and infrastructure degradation.

On October 17, multiple accidents on the RJ-186 and RJ-155 highways caused significant disruptions. On the RJ-186, a truck collision with a bridge structure near São José de Ubá resulted in a two-kilometer traffic jam, while a mechanical failure in a tunnel on the RJ-155 near Angra dos Reis forced a “stop and go” traffic system.

By October 20, issues shifted toward the Niterói metropolitan area, where commuters faced heavy congestion near the Rio-Niterói Bridge and on Avenida Marquês do Paraná. Additionally, motorists reported severe road deterioration on the RJ-104, citing numerous potholes that caused vehicle damage and impacted public transportation. The State Department of Highways (DER-RJ) indicated that pavement repairs are underway on the RJ-104.
