The Railway and Road Sectors Will Have Around R$ 1.7 Billion to Prepare the Highways for the Rainy Season, Ensure the Flow of the Agricultural Crop and Reduce the Number of Fatal Accidents, Resume Works and Intensify Them. These Resources Are Part of the Actions of the 100 Days of Priority Actions of the Government That Were Announced on Wednesday (18) by the Ministry of Transport.

According to the ministry, by April 2023, the amount will enable the delivery of 861 kilometers of paved, signaled, and revitalized roads. In addition, there will be the revitalization and construction of 72 bridges and overpasses in the same period. The main deliveries are included in 12 highways that cross the country: BR-432/RR, BR-364/AC, BR-116/CE, BR-101/SE, BR-116/BA, BR-080/GO, BR-101/AL, BR-381/MG, BR-447/ES, BR-163/PR, BR-470/SC, and BR-116/RS.

According to Renan Filho, the Minister of Transport, there will be a resumption of more than 670 kilometers of works that are currently halted due to lack of funds. By the end of 2022, there were more than 100 projects in highways with slow progress and some even stopped. “Our goal is to halt the sector’s regression over the past four years. We are open to improving our procedures to attract more private investments, combining efforts with more public resources,” he said.

The majority of the respondents to the questionnaires were composed of members of society and users of transportation services (52%); followed closely by market actors, service providers, and companies (15%). Public agencies and oversight entities accounted for third place in most suggestions (10%).

Government to Allocate Approximately R$1.7 Billion for Road and Railway Sector, Measures Announced This Wednesday (18) by the Ministry of Transport

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

The reign of carpets in the entrance hall has come to an end: aluminum mats emerge as a new trend that hardly gets dirty, lasts longer, and improves the hygiene of spaces.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.
