According to the City Hall, the viaduct will use quality materials and cutting-edge technology, characterizing itself as a landmark in civil engineering in the region.
The wait is over for the residents of Congonhas (MG), with the City Hall’s announcement of the signing of the service order for the construction of a new viaduct at the city’s northern entrance. After more than 25 years of expectation, the project will finally move forward, promising not only to improve traffic but also to raise the standards of safety and modernity of local infrastructure.

The structure incorporates innovative solutions that not only guarantee efficiency but also an aesthetically pleasing design.
Safety was one of the main criteria considered in the development of the project, aiming to reduce the number of accidents and provide a smoother and safer traffic experience for road users.
With this, it is expected not only to improve urban mobility but also to enhance the region’s value and attract new investments, boosting local development.
Previous Challenges and New Advances
The path to the signing of the service order was not easy.
Almost a year ago, the Court of Accounts of Minas Gerais (TCE/MG) suspended the public bidding notice promoted by the City Hall of Congonhas, citing issues related to the competitiveness of the bidding process.
The decision, based on the technical unit’s opinion from TCE/MG, raised concerns about the participation criteria and the documentation required from bidders.
Despite the bureaucratic challenges faced previously, the City Hall persisted in its goal to realize the viaduct project, now with all the necessary authorizations.
The estimated cost of the work is approximately R$ 85 million, a significant investment that reflects the commitment to modernize road infrastructure and the well-being of the community.
Impact of the Construction of the New Viaduct on the Community
With the imminent start of the works, the City Hall requests the collaboration of residents and drivers during the construction period.
Measures will be adopted to minimize the impact on local traffic, including possible detours and temporary changes to usual routes.
This initial phase also represents an opportunity for citizens to closely follow each stage of the viaduct’s development, as well as to clarify doubts and provide feedback to the responsible authorities.
With the construction of the new viaduct, Congonhas prepares for a more dynamic and accessible urban future.
In addition to improving mobility, the project signifies a significant advancement in local infrastructure, enhancing economic growth and attracting new enterprises to the region.
The expectation is that the viaduct will not only facilitate access to the city but also strengthen its position as a regional development hub.
