São Paulo free‑flow toll postponement

Entities: Anchieta‑Imigrantes highway · São Paulo state government · Agência de Transporte do Estado de São Paulo (Artesp) · local indigenous communities · Sindicato Nacional dos Cegonheiros (Sinaceg)

Overview

The São Paulo state government and ARTESP continue to delay the launch of the Siga Fácil free‑flow electronic toll system on the Anchieta‑Imigrantes corridor. Operational tests required moving the toll‑reading gantry from km 29 to km 38 to protect local traffic, and no new start date has been announced. The system will keep the total fee at R$ 40.60 per trip, split evenly between the descent and ascent, and is expected to eliminate queues, cut fuel consumption and improve logistics for cargo moving to the Port of Santos.

On 31 July 2026, construction began on a new interchange at km 592 on the SP‑294 highway in Adamantina, carried out by Eixo SP Concessionária de Rodovias. Both lanes of the segment are closed, with traffic diverted to side lanes and reinforced signage installed. The interchange is part of the SP‑294 duplication plan and is slated for completion in December 2024. Local residents and indigenous groups near the Billings Reservoir remain concerned about toll impacts, and a registration system for resident exemptions is being prepared. Industry groups such as Sinaceg continue to back the electronic toll, citing potential travel‑time and cost savings once operational.
