Agreement Reached Between the Army and the Federal Government for the Construction of a Section of the West-East Integration Railway – Fiol, in Bahia

Yesterday, September 11th, an agreement was reached between the Federal Government and the Army to construct 18 km of a section of the West-East Integration Railway – Fiol, located in Bahia. The project, spanning 1,500 kilometers, will connect the city of Ilhéus in Bahia to Figueirópolis in Tocantins. Valec Engenharia, Construções e Ferrovias is the company linked to the Ministry of Infrastructure that will make this project possible.

The contract closing ceremony between Valec and the Army was attended by President Jair Bolsonaro, who stated, “If back then, with Juscelino Kubitschek there was massive investment in highways because oil was cheap, which was good for that time, after the oil crisis this changed, after the 1970s. But few people thought about investing in railways. And we chose, before massively investing in railways, to finish the works that were already started.”

Tarcísio de Freitas, the Minister of Infrastructure, said, “So, we will interconnect Ilhéus to the North-South Railway. And as we will build the railway in the Midwest, in Mato Grosso, we will soon have a concession that will stretch from the West-Central Integration Railway (Fico), in Água Boa (MT), in the Araguaia Valley, to the port of Ilhéus. We will transform Brazilian agribusiness with these railways. We already have a north-south connection; we will soon have an east-west connection. And this is transformative for a region that is where agribusiness grows the most in Brazil.”
