DER-MG Works Include 96-Meter Bridge over the Paranaíba River and Another 80-Meter Bridge over the Casca River, with State Investment.

The Government of Minas Gerais, through the Department of Highways (DER-MG), authorized the commencement of two bridges considered fundamental for safety, mobility, and strengthening socioeconomic development in different regions of the state.

The interventions encompass the construction of new bridges on highways that currently face traffic restrictions, especially affecting cargo transport.

Bridge over the Paranaíba River, in Alto Paranaíba

The first work will be carried out on the LMG-722 highway, in Alto Paranaíba, and plans to construct a bridge over the Paranaíba River.

Bridge over the Casca River, in the Zona da Mata

On the AMG-1715 highway, section between the junction of the MG-329 and Santo Antônio do Grama, another bridge will be built, this time over the Casca River.

The new structure will have 80 meters in length and 10 meters in width, with a budget of approximately R$ 6 million and an execution period of 360 days.

The current bridge has a single lane, imposing load restrictions and forcing drivers to take detours. The new crossing will be built alongside the old one and will facilitate access to Belo Horizonte, providing more safety and traffic flow.

Strategic Investment by the State

According to the general director of DER-MG, Matheus Novais, the works represent fundamental investments for the sustainable development of the state. He emphasized that the improvements will ensure the safety of users while strengthening the regional economy through increased logistical capacity.

Both interventions are funded by the State Treasury and are consolidated as strategic investments in the road infrastructure of Minas Gerais, promoting economic development, road safety, and quality of life for local communities.
