With an investment of over R$ 2 billion, the Salvador metro works will extend Line 1 to Campo Grande, benefiting thousands of passengers and boosting the creation of direct and indirect jobs in the Bahia capital.

Salvador is preparing to take a significant step in its urban mobility with the advancement of the metro works. The new extension of Line 1 to Campo Grande will not only facilitate the movement of thousands of users but will also generate approximately one thousand direct jobs, in addition to indirect opportunities in sectors such as commerce, services, and infrastructure.

The new section, named Section 4, will have a 1.1 km underground extension and will connect the Lapa Station to the future Campo Grande Station.

The location of the new station is strategic, close to iconic spots such as the Castro Alves Theater, museums, hospitals, universities, and the official Carnival circuit.

New Bid Provides for the Acquisition of 10 Modern Trains

In addition to the line expansion, a bid was launched for the acquisition of 10 new trains, each with a capacity of 1,250 passengers.

The contract is estimated at R$ 648.4 million, with R$ 616 million coming from the federal government.

As a result, the total investment in the two projects — line expansion and train purchase — amounts to R$ 2.166 billion, consolidating the commitment to modernizing public transport in the Bahia capital.

Salvador Moves Towards Having One of the Largest Railway Networks in Brazil

According to Vasconcelos, the ongoing interventions, including the construction of the VLT, position Salvador as one of the cities with the largest urban rail extensions in the country.

When completed, these works will total approximately 80 kilometers of railway network.

“Since last year, Bahia has led job creation in the Northeast, thanks to a public policy that focuses on infrastructure as a development engine,” said the secretary, emphasizing that the metro project reinforces this commitment.

Salvador Moves Towards Having One of the Largest Railway Networks in Brazil

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

The Earth has become an orbital junkyard: 15,550 tons of space debris surround the planet with dead satellites, abandoned rockets, and fragments traveling at 28,000 km/h.

Unmanned and with the autonomy to cross oceans for up to 30 days, the DriX O-16 is a 15.75-meter naval drone that sails alone for 3,500 nautical miles carrying sensors for warfare, surveillance, and submarine mapping missions.

Solar garden table created by a Swiss company promises to generate energy at home, power everyday devices, and even pay for itself over time using only sunlight.
