Environment / Infrastructure

Attention drivers in the Vales, Serra and Central regions! I signed the orders to begin important road repair works and the construction of new bridges in Rio Grande do Sul. The interventions cover stretches of ERS-124, RSC-453, ERS-355 and ERS-241, as well as new bridges over the Não Sabia stream in Vista Alegre do Prata and over the Ibicuí Mirim River in Dilermando de Aguiar. This is more than R$ 221 million in investments to restore structures affected by the 2024 rains, including embankment reconstruction, retaining structures, drainage, pavement restoration and construction of new bridges. It is reconstruction that returns safety, mobility and better travel conditions to those who live and produce in these regions. The reconstruction by the State turns the challenges left by climatic events into concrete works and into more infrastructure for the future. The work continues so that our roads and bridges are increasingly safe, resilient and prepared for what lies ahead.

The difference with this road is that here in Mato Grosso it's a dual carriageway and has been well resurfaced.

What you are seeing over in Pará... is outrageous.

I'm on BR-163, a road responsible for the outflow of agricultural production and also mining.

Here in Mato Grosso, in a place where the state is friendly to businessmen, Governor Mauro Mendes estadualizou it — that is, took the BR from the federal government — and is himself resurfacing it.

Now duplicated and resurfaced, the highway helps boost the State's best production; in other words, it's pro-productivity.

Man, there are no potholes, man!

More than 500 railcars rusting out in the open.
