The potholes are back on Avenida Perimetral, in Lavras, shortly after the drainage work. On the stretch that received new asphalt, the road already has large craters that put anyone driving through there at risk.
The problem was shown this Wednesday (11) by Chama a Cultura, the Rádio Cultura segment that goes into the neighborhoods and pushes for solutions.
What the report found
According to reporter Gabriel Dinali, when the drainage work was finished, the asphalt was laid in reasonable condition for traffic. It didn't last. The rain of the past few days, the weight of the vehicles that use the avenue and the lack of maintenance have opened new holes in the pavement.
In the footage shot on site, the road appears patched, with loose gravel and cracks in the asphalt from one edge to the other. Cars and motorcycles slow down and change lanes to avoid the bigger potholes.
Perimetral is one of the busiest avenues in the city and connects several neighborhoods to downtown.
Chama a Cultura is continuing to follow the case. Anyone with a problem in their neighborhood can contact the station via WhatsApp at (35) 3822-5000.
