Intensive Earth Movement And Worker Information On Site Confirm New Point For Highway Support Structure And Future Toll Plaza, Changing Previous Planning That Foreseen The Base At KM 306.
The Antônio Dias region, on the BR-381 route, is the stage for significant construction activity. Earthmoving activities indicate the construction of a new operational base for Nova 381. The information was obtained directly on-site, where workers confirmed the plans for the location.
Intensive Earth Movement: The “Bota Fora” And Site Preparation
On-site, a large area of “bota fora” is observed. Dump trucks and tractors are operating intensively. This earth is the result of excavation and site preparation. When asked, a worker confirmed: “It’s a bota fora.” The removed material aims to level and prepare the area for the construction of future facilities. Heavy machinery, such as hydraulic excavators, is at the highest point, removing a large volume of earth.
Operational Base And Toll Plaza: Construction At KM 303
The earth movement has a clear purpose. On-site, the operational base of Nova 381 will be constructed. Additionally, the future toll plaza will also be erected at this same point. This information was confirmed by personnel working on the project. The construction activities are focused on kilometer 303 of the highway.

Planning Change: From KM 306 To KM 303
The Highway Exploitation Plan (PER) initially indicated another location. The construction of the operational base was planned for kilometer 306. However, there was a change. The works were moved forward and the structure will be erected near KM 302, effectively at KM 303. It is important to note that other points of the Nova 381 project, such as turnaround locations, may also be changed.
Wrong Way Traffic And Signage In The Construction Area
Those traveling on the BR-381 in the Antônio Dias region need to be extra cautious. Trucks have been seen moving in the wrong direction. This flow is necessary for construction activities. The section is marked with central markers and signs. An employee also directs traffic, indicating the need to reduce speed. It’s a point that requires caution, as the highway is high-speed.
