New Road in Araquari Will Have 6 Km in Length and Aims to Improve Traffic and Local Tourism, with the Construction of a New Bridge as Highlight of the Project.
The city of Araquari, in Santa Catarina, is about to take a big leap in infrastructure with the construction of a new bridge, designed to be nearly 500 meters long and with an estimated cost that already exceeds R$ 44 million. Yes, you read that right! Forty-four million just for a bridge! But this project is not just a whim; it is the key piece of a plan in Santa Catarina that aims to relieve traffic on the always busy BR-280 and, in addition, boost tourism in the region.
With the main road extending for 5.9 km, the construction of a new bridge emerges as the biggest challenge and, of course, the highest cost of the entire project. The initial forecast was a 400-meter bridge, but plans have grown, and now the city is preparing to erect an impressive 489-meter structure!
The road will connect the Porto Alegre road with the Rio do Morro highway, allowing for a new route between Joinville and Araquari, a direct and less congested alternative for drivers traveling along the BR-280.

Final Phase of the Project in Santa Catarina
The final phase of the project in Santa Catarina is in full swing, and there is an expectation that the bidding for the works will be launched by 2025, or at the latest 2026. In addition to the amount allocated for the construction of the new bridge, the complete road works will have a cost of R$ 60 million, which includes the opening of new routes in urban areas. To make this grand undertaking feasible, the city hall of Araquari is seeking not only its own resources but also financial support from state and federal amendments.
Construction of New Bridge Promises to Transform the State
This project in Santa Catarina is not just an engineering work. The new road and the construction of a new bridge promise to transform Araquari into a new point of economic and tourism development, being seen as the main project in the city in the coming years. In fact, the impact on local tourism is already expected, with the new road opening opportunities for business and leisure along the route.
The big question now is: with so many challenges ahead and such an impressive budget, will the construction of the new bridge meet the deadlines and expectations? Comment below what you think about this mega project!
