Alphaville region to witness BR-040's operations for the upcoming four days; anticipate modifications
Starting from this Wednesday, 23rd July, nighttime roadworks will take place on the BR-040 in the Alphaville neighbourhood, Nova Lima. The concessionaire EPR Via Mineira will be performing these works on the overpass located at km 563 for four consecutive nights, until Saturday, 26th July.
During these works, drivers needing to access the BR-356 or make U-turns are advised to use alternative routes. However, the concessionaire does not provide an alternative route for drivers needing to make U-turns during the works.
For drivers traveling south (from Belo Horizonte to Juiz de Fora), the recommended route is to proceed to km 567, near Topo do Mundo/Brumadinho, to make the maneuver to access the BR-356 or return to the capital. On the other hand, drivers traveling north (from Juiz de Fora to Belo Horizonte) should go to km 559, near the Miguelão condominium, to return to the Juiz de Fora direction.
It is important to note that the main lanes of the BR-040, in both directions, will remain open. However, the access ramps to the overpass will have point-by-point closures during the works. The concessionaire advises drivers to respect the signage and follow the instructions of the teams on site during the works on BR-040.
Speed cameras have been installed on the BR-040 and will start fining drivers from this Friday. Real-time road conditions on BR-040 can be checked by calling 0800 003 1040. The goal of the works on BR-040 is to ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic.

They tend to publish these plans in advance to minimise inconvenience for motorists. Traffic news portals for the Minas Gerais region can also provide useful information.
