Essential works for security and economy
The plan construction da EcoRodovias is ambitious, with a direct impact on economically strategic regions. Highlights include interventions on highways in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Goias and Tocantins. These works promise to benefit both the flow of industrial and agricultural production regarding movement in important tourist axes in Brazil.
on the axis RJ/MG, the highways managed by EcoRioMinas will receive improvements that cover 112 km, including duplications and construction of a new bridge over the Rio Doce, in Governador Valadares. Already in Goiás e Tocantins, the concessions of the Ecovias do Araguaia will have 60 km of duplications e 27 km of new roadsides. And it doesn't stop there: the works include walkways, intersections and return loops to ensure greater safety and fluidity.
Sustainability in construction
A EcoRodovias also stands out for its commitment to sustainability process in its works. The company adopts practices of construction that minimize environmental impact, such as reducing greenhouse gases and the choice of suppliers aligned with the agenda ESG. This commitment is in line with the UN's global goal of promoting road safety and sustainability by 2030.
As you point out Chiariello, “in all projects, sustainability is at the center. The company has clear goals of emission reduction and we always look for alternatives with less environmental impact.” In other words, it’s not just about expanding highways, it’s about doing it responsibly.
Paving and conservation
Another focus of the EcoRodovias is manutenção of existing roads. In addition to the expansions, the company is heavily involved in the conservation of pavements, ensuring that the managed sections offer financial security e comfort. On Northwest of Sao Paulo, where the company manages the EcoNoroeste, the first works were dedicated to reestablishing the road conditions of important road axes in the interior of the state.
It continuous maintenance extends to other units of the group, such as Ecobridge, Eco135, Eco101 and other concessions spread throughout Brazil. With this, the EcoRodovias ensures that your highways are always in ideal conditions to meet the growing flow of vehicles and cargo transportation.
A future of improvements
With a robust expansion plan and an unwavering commitment to financial security, sustainability process e highway maintenance, EcoRodovias continues investing to improve the infrastructure of Brazil. The works promise not only to make drivers' daily lives easier, but also to boost the development of the regions served by the highways under its management.
For those who live or travel through these areas, the improvements will be noticeable in the short and long term, with more financial security, comfort e agility in travel. The interventions will also generate jobs and foster local growth, proving that highways are much more than simple asphalt connections – they are drivers of the country’s economic and social progress.
So, if you hit the road in the coming years, you know: changes are coming. And for the better!
Roberta: I hope, like millions of Brazilians who use Brazilian roads, whether by truck, bus, car or motorcycle, that the quality and maintenance of the roads managed by Ecorodovias will always be efficient, always seeking to “ANTICIPATE” in places where accidents are likely to occur. Because it will take a long time to “tame” “excessive” speeding. And that future road construction projects in “mountainous stretches” will be carried out in “open” areas, thus avoiding excessive “curves”, such as the Imigrantes Highway in the state of São Paulo.
Furthermore, there are many educational campaigns on safe and responsible traffic.
Unfortunately, we truck drivers cannot confirm that our roads are in good condition, come and drive on Br 262 from Uberaba to Juatuba Br 153 from Nova Granada to Porangatu Br 101, Br 040 and Br 116 these are the main highways and they still charge tolls and are in very poor condition, today 27/09/2024 at 22:59
When Ecovias is going to make some decent escape areas on Anchieta because the two that it has are ridiculously outdated with the loose trucks that go down the mountain, it should have escape areas with overhead cranes like the ones that go down the mountain in Paraná where the loose is much smaller.
