Infrastructure and transport updates across Brazil and Portugal
Various infrastructure and transport developments are underway across Brazil and Portugal. In Brazil, major highway projects include the duplication of BR-277 between Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, scheduled for completion by 2034, and the duplication of BR-280 in Guaramirim. Maintenance works are also active on the BR-158 bridges in Mato Grosso do Sul, the BR-040 between Belo Horizonte and Juiz de Fora, and several routes in Minas Gerais. Additionally, the BR-163 in Mato Grosso offers significant toll discounts of up to 93% for frequent users utilizing automatic TAG payment systems.
In the legal and safety sectors, the Federal Court is reviewing a case to potentially deactivate freight train lines in Curitiba due to safety and noise concerns. In Itabuna, the ‘Operação Pista Segura’ is monitoring highways to prevent accidents caused by stray animals. Meanwhile, the Anita Garibaldi Bridge in Laguna is under investigation by the Federal Public Ministry following structural cable failures.
In Portugal, Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) is implementing traffic restrictions for the duplication and requalification of the IP3 between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu, a project valued at approximately 103 million euros.
