A second EcoRodovias bulletin at 02:12 confirmed that Operation 5×2—the traffic scheme that allocates five lanes to one direction and two to the other—remained in force early Sunday. The concessionaire reiterated that the Imigrantes northbound lanes were shut and that additional blocks were in place along the Planalto interlink toward the coast. While conditions on other stretches of the concession remained ‘good’, the prolonged asymmetric lane allocation underscores the balancing act between leisure traffic returning from the beaches and cargo flows to Brazil’s largest port complex. Forwarders handling time-sensitive perishables such as coffee and orange-juice concentrate say they have diverted trucks to the Mogi–Bertioga road, adding cost and transit time. Corporate shuttle providers servicing expatriates in Cubatão’s petrochemical hub are rerouting via SP-055, cautioning riders to budget an extra 45 minutes. EcoRodovias encourages fleet managers to consult its interactive online map and follow the company’s ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) account for minute-by-minute updates. The incident highlights the importance of integrating concessionaire data feeds into corporate travel-management systems, particularly for industries dependent on just-in-time delivery schedules.
