Railroad F-118 is one of the most important projects in Rio de Janeiro for 2023

The transport of agricultural products, iron ore and oil between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo will no longer be the same after the construction of the F-118 railroad. After all, this ambitious project aims to transport the production from the Port of Açu through the Port of Ubu. However, in a recent meeting with the president of the republic, the governor of Rio de Janeiro pointed the work as one of the main projects of 2023.

In this way, the tendency is for it to receive more attention and soon to leave the drawing board to put into practice one of the most efficient logistics modes in Brazil. Furthermore, the railroads still experience a certain precariousness that needs to be reviewed. Therefore, this new project is in favor of an economical way of transporting cargo and passengers.

Understand a little more about the railroad that will connect Rio de Janeiro to Espírito Santo and take oil and iron between states

Macaé, the oil capital, will stand out even more with the construction of the F-118 railroad and has a billionaire investment planned

A city ​​of macaé, in Rio de Janeiro, which is home to the Port of Açu, has great national notoriety and is considered the national oil capital. However, iron ores and agricultural products produced in this region also favor the national economy, but still do not have an adequate and proportional outlet. However, this problem was raised and discussed between competent authorities in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo.

In addition, the project has taken greater steps, with the visit of the mayor of Macaé, Welberth Rezende to the Federal Senate in February. During the visit, the mayor discussed this and other relevant guidelines for Macaé, such as the duplication of BR-101 and the expansion of the city's airport.

However, the mayor was very optimistic about this project. After all, investments of around R$8,7 billion are foreseen for the development of the works. Furthermore, this great work that will connect the states of the Southeast region will offer thousands of jobs, favoring the regional economy.

Investment in the F-118 railroad puts Brazil in the spotlight in the logistics of transporting cargo such as iron and oil and passengers

Na Europe, railroads are a means of transport widely used both for transporting cargo such as iron ore and oil and for passengers. After all, this is an economical, versatile, fast and effective way of transporting things and people over long distances. However, Brazil still faces a general low quality in its railways, which needs to be reviewed.

In this way, the investment in the F-118 Railway, which passes through Macaé, will place Brazil at the forefront of logistics and passenger transport, following the model of Europe. Governor Claudio Castro also mentioned that the construction of the railroad has the support of the BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development) and will enable the flow of the greater Port of Açu. Still according to him, the big ports all over the world can only have adequate logistics with the help of railroads.

Regional development with the construction of Railroad 118 will generate more than 6 thousand jobs and millionaire tax collection

The construction of the F-118 railroad still has many regional benefits. Firstly, it is a work that promises to generate more than 6 thousand direct and indirect jobs. Thus, the first benefit is social, aimed at generating employment and income at a time of difficult replacement on the world stage.

Secondly, transport by this means will guarantee tax collection of around R$457 million for the Union. That is, it will be more money for national investment and the country will only gain from this new infrastructure.
