Brazilian federal highway duplication projects

Overview

Various highway duplication and infrastructure projects are advancing across different regions of Brazil.

In Pernambuco, construction has commenced on the BR-232 highway, specifically a 28.8 km stretch between São Caetano and Belo Jardim. This R$ 249 million project aims to improve mobility and economic development in the Agreste and Sertão regions.

In Paraná, the BR-153 highway has implemented new traffic detours in Jacarezinho and Santo Antônio da Platina to facilitate viaduct construction. The long-term duplication of the BR-277, covering 477.7 kilometers between Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, is scheduled to continue through May 2034.

In Mato Grosso do Sul, works on the BR-158 in Paranaíba and Aparecida do Taboado involve widening and reinforcing bridges, with completion expected in early 2027. Additionally, users of the BR-163 in the state can access toll discounts of up to 93% via automatic TAG payment systems.

Other significant works include the BR-280 in Guaramirim, where DNIT is conducting duplication works and drainage installation as part of a R$ 1.7 billion investment. In Minas Gerais, EPR Via Mineira is conducting preparatory works for the duplication of the BR-040 between Belo Horizonte and Juiz de Fora, while CCR RioSP is managing rock blasting operations on the BR-116 in the Serra das Araras region to facilitate new lanes. Maintenance is also being performed by EPR Sul de Minas in the Poços de Caldas region.
