A Milestone in the State Road Infrastructure: An Ambitious R$ 7.7 Billion Plan That Promises to Transform Mobility and the Economy of the Country, Benefiting All Road Users

The Government of Goiás has announced a revolutionary plan that promises to modernize over 2,000 kilometers of state highways. The auction, scheduled for February 7, 2025, seeks to attract private investments to enhance road infrastructure, essential for agricultural freight transport and regional traffic.

Investment Details and Project Scope with a New Road Infrastructure

With an estimated investment of R$ 7.7 billion over 30 years, the concession program covers six lots of highways serving 17 municipalities, directly impacting the economy and mobility in the region. The highways, currently under state management, will undergo structural improvements, ensuring safety and fluid traffic, according to terrabrasilnotícias.

Which Highways Will Be Under Concession?

The plan includes six main sections, totaling 2,104 km of highways located in strategic areas for agricultural production and goods transport. Check the main sections included in the program:

  • Juara to Tapurah (237 km) – MT 338/160/242/220.
  • Campo Novo do Parecis to Nova Mutum (418 km) – MT 010/160/253/249/480.
  • Cuiabá to Rosário Oeste (161 km) – MT 010/246/401/402.
  • Paranatinga to Canarana (308 km) – MT 020/100/129/240/202/326.
  • Campo Verde to Sinop (634 km) – MT 020/140/225/244/251.
  • Brasnorte to Castanheira (344 km) – MT 170/220/320.

These highways will receive significant investments to ensure proper traffic conditions.

The Innovation of the Electronic Toll System

One of the major innovations of this project is the introduction of the Free Flow system, a model of electronic toll that eliminates the need for physical toll plazas. Sensors installed along the highways will identify vehicles and automatically charge the toll, reducing queues and congestion. Estimated tolls range between R$ 10.74 and R$ 13.37 per section, calculated based on the distance traveled.

Expected Benefits from the Concession

The concession of the highways will bring significant changes to the state, both in road infrastructure and the economy. Among the main benefits are:

1st Improvement of Road Quality: constant maintenance with improvements in paving, signaling, and safety.

2nd Reduction of Accidents: well-maintained roads contribute to a decrease in accidents and traffic fatalities.

3rd Increased Agility in Freight Transport: modernized roads make the flow of agricultural production more efficient, reducing logistical costs.

4th Job Creation: creation of direct and indirect jobs during the construction and operation phases.

5th More Efficient Use of Public Resources: with the management of the highways transferred to the private sector, the government will be able to direct resources to priority areas like health and education.

Expectations of the Government and the Population with the New Roads

Governor Mauro Mendes emphasized that the concession program is vital to modernize the road infrastructure of Mato Grosso, the largest agricultural producer in the country. The goal is to provide quality highways and strengthen the state’s economy. The Secretary of Infrastructure, Marcelo de Oliveira, also highlighted that the auction should attract companies specialized in road management, ensuring that improvements are implemented quickly.

Timeline and Next Steps

Official Announcement of the Notice: already published on the government’s official website.

Auction at B3, in São Paulo: scheduled for February 7, 2025.

Start of Improvements on the Highways: expected for the second half of 2025, shortly after the conclusion of contractual procedures.

Interested companies must submit detailed proposals, and the winning bidders will take over the operation of the highways for the established concession period.

The concession of over 2,000 kilometers of highways in Mato Grosso represents a significant milestone for the state, balancing economic growth and mobility. With robust investments and the introduction of modern technologies, the program promises to benefit both users and the regional economy.

Stay tuned for updates on the auction and the road improvements that will soon be part of the routine for Mato Grosso drivers!

Já ha um projeto que já foi aprovado pela Câmara dos Deputados e que agora segue para o Senado, que se aprovado e sancionado sem vetos pelos Presidente da República, retira a punição por pontos no prontuário da CHN do motorista condutor que não pagar o pedagio nos pórticos das rodovias no sistema free flow.
