Airport access will be closed Friday morning
BR-469 (Cataratas Highway) will be closed Friday, August 28, from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. at kilometer 19, the main access route to Foz do Iguaçu International Airport. The closure is required for a controlled rock demolition that is part of the highway’s duplication project.
The Dalba-Bandeirantes Consortium, responsible for the expansion works on BR-469, will carry out the blasting operation as part of constructing a new access ramp to the airport terminal. During the hour of closure, no vehicles will be allowed on the segment.
A total traffic shutdown is required to ensure the safety of workers and drivers using the road, the consortium said.
Residents living within the safety zone for the blasting have been notified in advance and must leave their homes during the operation. They may return after a technical inspection and the area’s release.
Passengers with flights scheduled for early morning should plan ahead. It is advisable to confirm check-in times with the airline and factor the closure into travel time calculations to the airport. Traffic will resume after 7 a.m.
