Sabesp Sewage Works Cause Road Closures in Three São Paulo Coastal Cities

Roads in Praia Grande, Itanhaém, and Guarujá, located on the São Paulo coast, will be intermittently closed until July 19th due to ongoing sewage collection and expansion projects by the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo (Sabesp). Across these three municipalities, Sabesp is investing over R$ 524 million to construct new sewage networks, connections, and pumping stations, which are expected to benefit approximately 65,000 residents. In Praia Grande, the project involves building 46.3 kilometers of new collector networks, 7,110 sewage connections, and eight pumping stations, with an investment of R$ 172.9 million. Specific partial and total road closures are scheduled between July 14th and July 18th on various avenues and streets, including Av. Ministro Marcos Freire, Av. da Integração, and Av. Almeida Júnior. Itanhaém's expansion project covers 79 kilometers of collector networks, 8,194 sewage connections, and nine pumping stations, with an investment of R$ 239.4 million. This phase is slated for completion in July 2027 and includes partial and total closures on Av. Tamoios and Rua dos Timbiras between July 14th and July 17th. Guarujá will see the addition of 18.6 kilometers of collector networks, 1,231 sewage connections, and two pumping stations, with an investment of R$ 112.5 million. The completion for Guarujá's works is anticipated by February 2027, with partial and total road closures planned on Av. Antônio Corrêa and Rua Santo Antônio from July 14th to July 19th.
