In Rio Branco, municipal authorities have initiated several infrastructure and urban mobility projects. Initial efforts focused on road maintenance in the Canaã neighborhood, specifically targeting Durval Camilo Street and the local bus corridor to improve transit safety.

Mayor Alysson Bestene has since announced plans to expand the city’s bicycle lane network, with new segments planned for the Paz and Universitário neighborhoods and a connection between the Usina de Arte and the airport.

Recent infrastructure developments have shifted focus toward the Baixada da Sobral region. The City Hall is currently advancing works on Rua São Bento, involving the installation of over 600 meters of drainage and sewage systems. These interventions are intended to address historical flooding issues in the João Paulo, Plácido de Castro, Cabreúva, and Bonsucesso neighborhoods. Furthermore, the construction of the Igarapé Sobral gallery on Estrada da Sobral is underway to prepare the area for definitive paving.
