The funds come from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) and the Development Company of Minas Gerais (Codemge) and the works will be carried out by the Department of Buildings and Roads of Minas Gerais (DER-MG).

There is no forecast for the completion of the works yet, however, according to Zema, because they are smaller in scale, they may be completed during his term, which will extend until 2022.

The manager also stated that it is satisfactory to have an agenda that addresses the future, job creation, and investments in Minas Gerais, highlighting the priority of saving lives due to the pandemic, but without neglecting the issue of the state’s development.
