Traffic on the road that passes over the Funil HPP dam will be temporarily interdicted next Tuesday, May 12, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. The interdiction occurs due to the operation of a crane that will be used for the displacement and positioning of the old rotor of one of the generating units near the entrance of the Plant.
While the ban is in force, drivers circulating between the municipalities of Ribeirão Vermelho, Perdões and Lavras must use alternative routes. Traffic is expected to resume late Tuesday afternoon, after the conclusion of the services and the safe clearance of the road.
The Aliança Energia team, which works at the Funil HPP, counts on everyone’s understanding.
