Government Speaks Out About Bilateral Bridge Between El Soberbio and Porto Soberbio
With the decision of the government of Rio Grande do Sul to assume the project’s costs, the bilateral bridge is moving towards becoming a reality, strengthening itself as a fundamental pillar for the advancement and integration of the region. Vice Governor Gabriel Souza was present in Brasília last month to meet with ministers and representatives of the federal government.
Among the topics discussed were international bridges, railways, and the situation of farmers impacted by recent adverse weather events. Gabriel explains that, as they are bridges linking two countries, development must occur through bilateral agreements between the Brazilian and Argentine governments.
The preliminary projects provided and subsidized by the state government, in this case, are crucial for the process, as well as being a way to contribute, as the structures are also of interest for advancing the economy of RS.
