“It is a very important connection route, not only for the population of Taguatinga, but for everyone who frequents this region,” he said.
Improvements to the avenue include completely replacing the asphalt, covering 10,8 km in length, and building a drainage network to prevent flooding.

The expectation is that around 60 thousand drivers will benefit from these interventions every day.
Commitment to the community
The governor also made a point of mentioning the importance of project on the avenue for local traders.

Fauzi Nacfur, president of DER-DF, stated that the revitalization of Pistão Sul is part of a larger effort by the GDF to restore the capital's main roads.
“The pavement had been completely destroyed for more than 10 years, and we needed to carry out a complete reconstruction to deliver a track with the quality it deserves,” he said.
This renewal is essential to serve a population that increasingly depends on mobility alternatives.
Sustainable mobility programs

The revitalization of the avenue is seen as an important step towards improving the city's infrastructure and strengthening the local economy.
With the new Pistão Sul, the expectation is that Taguatinga will become an example of urban mobility in the DF, benefiting not only drivers, but also cyclists and pedestrians.
Investment in infrastructure is essential to ensure a better quality of life for all citizens.
