The organization reported that the volume of water is stable, allowing movement to continue in both directions. However, they remain vigilant about changes that may impact user security.

PMRv (Military Traffic Police) and Civil Defense warn drivers to be careful when traveling through the Serra do Goio En. Due to the rain, some sections of the highway are running in half-lane mode, requiring drivers to take extra care.

The release of this section is welcomed by many drivers who depend on this route for their tourism and commercial activities. The Goyo-En Bridge is an important link for the regional economy.
