Project in Rio Verde promises to transform GO-210 into a concrete highway, promoting efficiency in the urban scenario within 18 months.
Goiás is about to mark a new chapter in the history of highways Brazilians with the transformation of GO-210 into a concrete highway, a significant advance for the state and the Central-West region. Located in Rio Verde, the highway will have its urban perimeter completely renovated, promising a durability of over 20 years and proven efficiency in reducing maintenance costs.
Benefits of Rigid Concrete Highway Pavement
The choice of flooring concrete It is not just a question of modernization, but also a strategic decision based on technical and economic studies.
According to the Goiana Infrastructure and Transport Agency (Goinfra), the adoption of this type of pavement offers clear advantages, such as greater safety due to better braking space, increased nighttime lighting and resistance to damage caused by fuels and oils.
- Highway works are not progressing and the reason is clear: there is a lack of raw materials and labor! Whose fault is it?
- One of Brazil's main highways (BR) will now have a lower speed limit
- Forget traditional asphalt! Brazilian state innovates and uses more than 1,6 million tires to revitalize its highways
- Mega highway project worth R$3 BILLION is delivered, but is at risk of collapsing three weeks after inauguration
The GO-210 plays a crucial role in the transport of heavy loads, facilitating the efficient flow of agricultural products in the region.
With a total investment of more than US$60 million, financed by Fundeinfra, the project not only promotes road safety but also boosts local economic development.
Inspired by successful international practices, the project in Rio Verde reflects collaboration with entities such as the Brazilian Portland Cement Association and the World Bank, ensuring globally recognized quality standards.
The implementation of concrete pavement follows a proven model of durability and efficiency in other parts of the world, adapted to the specific needs of the region.
Challenges and solutions
Despite historical financial challenges, the decision to invest in concrete pavement represents a milestone for Goiás, standing out as a capabilities long-term plan for road infrastructure.
The careful choice of the construction company Metropolitana to carry out the works highlights the commitment to quality and efficiency in delivering the project.
The decision to apply concrete pavement on GO-210 also considered successful experiences in other regions of Brazil, such as Santa Catarina and Chapecó, where the material demonstrated efficiency in similar traffic and climate conditions.
These references were fundamental for Goinfra when defining the most suitable model for Rio Verde, taking into account the volume of heavy vehicles that travel along the highway daily.
In addition to superior mechanical resistance, concrete pavement offers significant benefits for user safety.
The clear concrete surface reflects more light at night, improving visibility and potentially reducing the risk of accidents.
This feature is particularly crucial in urban sections such as GO-210, where adequate lighting can make a difference in preventing incidents.
Cost-benefit of concrete highway
From an economic point of view, choosing concrete pavement represents not only an investment in durable infrastructure, but also long-term savings in maintenance costs.
Studies indicate that concrete requires fewer repairs and replacements compared to asphalt, resulting in lower operating costs over the road's useful life.
This aspect is particularly relevant for the state of Goiás, which aims to optimize public resources without compromising the quality of roads.
Impact on mobility
With the completion of the works, it is expected that GO-210 will not only improve the flow of vehicles and freight, but also stimulate the development of new urban areas around the highway.
The modernized infrastructure will not only facilitate access to Rio Verde, but will also open new opportunities for regional economic growth, consolidating Goiás as a leader in innovation in the transport sector.
The transformation of GO-210 into Rio Verde not only modernizes the state's road infrastructure, but also establishes a new standard of excellence for future road projects in the region.
With the opening scheduled for 18 months from now, Goiás is positioning itself as a pioneer in the adoption of concrete pavement in the Central-West, leveraging not only urban mobility, but also economic development.
