In an interview with the Hora News program on Record News, the governor of Mato Grosso, Mauro Mendes, revealed this Friday (25) the ambitious infrastructure works package for the state, highlighting the duplication of BR-163. This project, considered the largest road infrastructure work in the country, marks a new development cycle for Mato Grosso.

The Importance of BR-163 for the State

BR-163, which was previously under federal concession, is now being revitalized by the state government. Mendes highlighted the road’s relevance for grain transportation, which is one of the region’s main economic activities.

“Today we have the largest infrastructure project in the country, the duplication of BR-163. This important road, previously under federal concession and without investments, is now being revitalized with state government resources. In a groundbreaking initiative, we took over the concession and are heavily investing to improve this crucial stretch for grain transportation, agricultural production expansion, and state development,” said the governor.

According to Mauro Mendes, the state government has allocated more than 20% of its revenue to infrastructure. This significant percentage will allow for the delivery of over 6,000 kilometers of asphalt by the end of his administration. The paving includes urban areas, carried out in partnership with municipalities, with the aim of improving the quality of life for local residents.

Main Figures of the Works:

3,255 km of restored roads;
201 new concrete bridges;
Goal of 4,500 km of new asphalt by the end of the year.

Trivia: Mato Grosso has the largest extension of roadworks currently in Brazil, surpassing investments in states with larger budgets. This effort aims to enhance the transportation of goods and reduce logistics costs, benefiting agribusiness, industry, and the general population.

These works represent a significant advance; however, their continuity depends on careful resource management and monitoring of the projects to maintain quality.

Mauro Mendes expressed confidence that Mato Grosso is on the right track, creating solid foundations for sustainable development.

The actions of the state government in Mato Grosso reflect the importance of investments in infrastructure for regional and national growth. With the duplication of BR-163 and the expansion of the road network, the state positions itself as a key player in the flow of agricultural products, essential for Brazil.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

Another Chinese giant prepares to enter Brazil: BAIC bets on the Arcfox T1, an electric hatchback that promises to compete with the BYD Dolphin, BYD Dolphin Mini, and Geely EX2 with a larger size and a range of up to 425 km.

The “freshwater lid” that worries scientists: Greenland melts, could weaken Atlantic currents and is already being monitored by robots, satellites, and artificial intelligence before altering the climate in the coming decades.

Government prepares billion-dollar discount on electricity bills: Aneel will return R$ 5.5 billion to consumers in the North, Northeast, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo in the form of reduced energy tariffs.

Scientists in Saudi Arabia create an “electricity-free refrigerator” that uses a chemical reaction to lower the temperature from 25°C to 3.6°C in 20 minutes and then uses the sun itself to restart the system without a compressor, outlet, or generator.
