The Duplication of BR-153 Between Goiás and Tocantins, One of the Main Logistics Corridors in the Country, Is Starting to Become a Reality. The Project, Long Awaited, Was Officialized with the Signing of the Service Order in Rialma (GO). In Addition to Representing Billion-Dollar Investments, the Work Promises to Transform Transport, Generate Jobs, and Provide More Safety to Drivers Who Use the Stretch Daily.

The duplication of BR-153/GO/TO officially began this Thursday (21) in Rialma (GO). During the ceremony, federal, state, and municipal authorities emphasized the importance of the project.

Deadlines and Expectations

According to the schedule, the completion of the works is expected in October 2026, with operations starting on September 30 of the same year.

The duplication is expected to directly benefit the 23,000vehicles that circulate daily through the stretch, increasing traffic capacity and ensuring more comfort for users.

Relevance to the Country

During the event, Guilherme Theo Sampaio highlighted the project’s impact.

“We are by the BR-153 giving the service order for the first 60 km of duplication. There is more than R$ 600 million in investment, and we won’t stop there. By the end of the ten-year concession, we will have the entire BR-153 duplicated in the state of Goiás. What does this mean? More road safety, efficiency in transportation, job and income generation, and ANTT being part of this national transformation,” he stated.

In addition to reducing accidents, the duplication will facilitate the flow of agricultural production and strengthen the region’s logistical competitiveness. ANTT will monitor every step of the work to ensure deadlines and quality, benefiting the population.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
