The route taken by the delegation in Rio de Janeiro, upon leaving Galeão Airport, is outlined by 3-meter-high colored panels, installed along the Red Line. The paint colors were applied to the structures in August this year, with the aim of beautifying the area and hiding the irregular constructions that make up the Maré Community.
Installation of the panels began in 2010, with the aim of completing the work in time for the 2014 World Cup. Since then, the panels have not been maintained for years. The last one was held in 2016, shortly before the Olympic Games hosted in the country. Initially, the structures were announced as a protective measure, seeking to prevent accidents on the road.
At the beginning of 2024, it was possible to see graffiti and worn material along the 800 meters of construction of the panels. At the time, the material was white in color.
In addition to the Red Line, the protection panels extend to the Yellow Line and part of Fundão.
