Drivers heading to the coast of São Paulo face congestion on the Anchieta and Imigrantes highways this Saturday morning (12). The forecast of high temperatures during the weekend motivated tourists to go down the mountain and enjoy the beaches of Baixada Santista, even with the new coronavirus pandemic.
According to Ecovias, the concessionaire that manages the roads, at around 8:30 am, Anchieta was blocked in the mountain range to reverse and implement Operation Descenso.
The Anchieta highway is slow towards the coast, from km 29 to km 31. The Imigrantes highway is slow from km 27 to km 32 and from 38 to km 43. Both due to excess vehicles.
The Anchieta-Imigrantes System is in Operation 7×3. For the descent, drivers use the north and south lane of via Anchieta and the south lane of Imigrantes. The ascent to the mountains, on the other hand, is done only in the northern lane of Imigrantes.
Since midnight on Friday (11), when the count began, more than 99 thousand vehicles have descended through the Serra towards Baixada Santista. In the direction of São Paulo, the concessionaire registered the passage of 48 thousand vehicles.

The Civil Defense of the State of São Paulo issued an alert, last Wednesday (9), of high temperatures for the next few days in Baixada Santista, on the coast of São Paulo. According to the agency, there is a forecast of strong heat waves, with critical levels of relative humidity until Sunday (13).
Temperatures rise on Saturday (12), when the dry air returns to action, favoring a rapid warming. There is a decrease in the clouds and the predominance of the sun. With a predicted maximum of 33 ° C, it could be the hottest winter day of 2020.
Sunday (13) will also be sunny, warm and stable. The thermometers should oscillate between 20 and 30ºC. This change occurs because the dry air, characteristic of the winter period, inhibits the formation of areas of instability.
