BR-364 highway maintenance legal dispute in Acre

Overview

The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) has requested that the Federal Court increase daily fines against the Union and the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (Dnit) from R$ 10,000 to R$ 20,000. This legal action concerns the maintenance of the BR-364 highway in Acre.

Prosecutor Lucas Costa Almeida Dias is also seeking personal daily fines of R$ 5,000 for the Minister of Transport, the Director-General of Dnit, and the regional superintendent in Acre. The MPF claims that a June 2023 judicial decision requiring improvements to the highway between Rio Branco and Cruzeiro do Sul has not been fully fulfilled.

Outstanding issues include the definitive recovery of the stretch between Sena Madureira and Tarauacá, the reactivation of weigh stations, and permanent inspection of overweight vehicles. Furthermore, repairs to the bridge over the Tarauacá River remain unresolved following a work stoppage in 2025 due to execution flaws. The MPF noted that Dnit has failed to provide a detailed schedule, resources, or specific work fronts to meet court-ordered deadlines.
