Infrastructure and urban mobility projects continue to progress across several Brazilian cities. In São Caetano do Sul, the Drenar Program is moving through a critical phase involving a new level crossing and a subterranean connection between the São Caetano Terminal and Rua 24 Horas, including accessibility upgrades.

In Porto Alegre, Trensurb has restored Mercado Station to full capacity following renovations to an escalator damaged during the May 2024 floods.

Recent updates indicate ongoing maintenance and construction. In Rio de Janeiro, CET-Rio has expanded its scheduled maintenance and revitalization efforts to include the Elevado das Bandeiras, alongside the Rebouças, Zuzu Angel, and Santa Bárbara tunnels. In Curitiba, the Novo Inter 2 project continues, with paving on General Mário Tourinho expected to impact traffic for approximately 60 days.

Regional developments include the completion of slope containment on the BR-277 in Paraná by EPR Litoral Pioneiro. In Santa Catarina, ANTT has authorized a project review for the Morro dos Cavalos tunnel on the BR-101 Sul, while DNIT has identified drainage issues causing road subsidence on the BR-324 in Simões Filho. Waterfront revitalization projects are also advancing in Cabo Frio, specifically at the Tamoios waterfront, and in Altamira, which has launched the second stage of its urban renewal.
