The government is launching a study for a 151 km long coastal highway complex, with the aim of optimizing mobility and logistics in the region. The project, which has three sections, aims to reduce congestion and strengthen tourism and cargo transportation.
In the context of major infrastructure projects, ambitious projects often promise to transform mobility and regional development.
Recently, an initiative in Paraná has attracted attention for its magnitude and potential impact on the state's coastline.
Although still in the study phase, expectations are high for the changes that may arise.

The Paraná Infrastructure and Logistics Secretariat (SEIL) is moving forward with the project for a 151-kilometer road complex, aiming to improve access to the ports of Antonina and Paranaguá, as well as integrating the state's road network with Santa Catarina and São Paulo.
The first step towards implementing this system will be the preparation of the Technical, Socioeconomic, Environmental and Legal Feasibility Study (EVTEA-J), whose company selection process is already underway.
Division of sections of the highways on the coast
The road complex will be divided into three segments, each playing a fundamental role in optimizing traffic and improving cargo and passenger transportation:
Excerpt 1: It will connect BR-277 (Marta) to BR-116 (Alpino), with a length of 55 kilometers, including a new 10-kilometer access to the Port of Antonina.
Excerpt 2: It will focus on the connection between BR-277 (Marta) and BR-376, on the border with Santa Catarina, covering 62 kilometers.
Excerpt 3: It will create a link between Section 2 and PR-508, going around the northern part of Guaratuba Bay, totaling 24 kilometers.
Study phases
EVTEA-J will be conducted in two distinct stages:
Preliminary phase: Involves environmental, traffic, geological/geotechnical, socioeconomic and route studies.
Executive phase: Includes technical analysis of alternatives, definition and calculation of costs and benefits, comparison between costs and advantages, in addition to the preparation of risk matrices and final recommendations.
Investment and term
The investment planned for the preparation of the study is approximately R$ 4,16 million, with an execution period of 15 months from the signing of the contract and the issuance of the service order.
Expected impacts and benefits
According to SEIL, the implementation of the new highways aims not only to improve the logistical flow of Paraná ports, but also to facilitate the movement of tourists, especially during the high season.
The project also promises to reduce congestion and minimize the environmental impact of excessive road traffic in the region.
In recent years, simultaneous blockages on highways such as BR-376, BR-277 and PR-410, due to heavy rains and landslides, have caused significant disruption to residents and cargo transporters.
The new infrastructure aims to offer safe alternative routes, preventing similar situations from isolating the Paraná coast again.
Public participation and sustainability
SEIL reinforced its commitment to listening to the population and the various sectors involved, including transporters, environmentalists and municipal managers.
Integration with ongoing projects, such as the construction of the Guaratuba Bridge, will also be considered to ensure an efficient and environmentally balanced mobility solution.
Next Steps for the highways on the coast
After the studies are completed, the Government of Paraná will evaluate, together with society, the feasibility of implementing the road complex in full or in part.
SEIL will continue to monitor all stages of the process, ensuring that the execution of the contract follows the established technical and regulatory standards.
The project represents a fundamental initiative for the development of the Paraná coast, seeking to balance economic progress, mobility and sustainability.
If implemented as planned, it could become a milestone in the state's infrastructure.
