Bahia Signs Bridge Contract of US$ 1.26 Billion with Chinese Investors. China Has Been Gaining Ground in Almost Every Segment of the Brazilian Market in Recent Years.

The Bahian government signed a PPP contract with a Chinese consortium for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Salvador-Itaparica bridge on November 12, 2020. The project is worth 6.9 billion reais (US$ 1.26 billion) and includes 5.4 billion reais in investments from the consortium, formed by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), CCCC South America Regional Company (CCC CSA), and China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation (CR20).

The state government is investing R$ 1.5 billion in the 12.4 km bridge. The consortium now has one year to obtain all necessary licenses and begin construction, with an expected construction period of four years.

“This is the largest investment by a Chinese group in Brazil in recent years. We are very proud to reach this moment of signing the contract with a group from a country that invests heavily in research and technology,” said Rui Costa, governor of the northeastern state.

After construction is completed, the consortium will be responsible for the administration and maintenance of the bridge for 30 years. At least 7,000 jobs will be generated in the state with this venture.

The forecast is that the bridge will have a daily traffic of 28,000 vehicles and benefit 4.4 million people in the metropolitan region of the capital Salvador.

The Chinese Connection

Governor Costa belongs to the left-wing Workers’ Party and has strong ties with investors from China.

Last year, the state signed a PPP contract with the Skyrail Bahia Consortium, controlled by the Chinese Build Your Dreams (BYD), for the construction and operation of a light rail service costing 1.5 billion reais in Salvador.

The line will be 20 km long with 22 stations and a capacity to transport 150,000 passengers per day.

Abandoned house for 15 years disappears in the woods, shocks owner with unrecognizable scenery and is reborn in an intense transformation after almost 90 hours of work in just 10 days.

In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

Espírito Santo will receive the largest engineering project in its history with the duplication of BR 262, which will have 50 viaducts, 28 bridges, and 2-kilometer tunnels cutting through the most challenging mountainous region of the entire state.

A project of nearly 9 million reais already has the first kilometer paved in Santa Catarina and promises to completely transform the access between Jaraguá do Sul and Rio dos Cedros in an area where tourism is growing at a rapid pace.
