Get ready for a revolution in mobility on the north coast of São Paulo.
A massive project, involving more than 30 km of highway and a billion-dollar investment, is about to be inaugurated, promising to change the routine of drivers, tourists, and residents of the region.
More than just a road, this new development promises to be a turning point in the local economic and touristic development.

According to the portal Diário do Litoral, the inauguration of the Southern Bypass of the Tamoios Highway is scheduled for November 18, 2024, at 10 am, at kilometer 27, in the São Francisco neighborhood, in São Sebastião.
With an investment of around R$ 3 billion, this project is one of the most modern in Brazil and includes the innovative free flow toll technology, which is unprecedented in the country.
The event will be attended by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, local authorities, and experts who emphasize the project’s relevance for the state.
A Milestone in Highway Infrastructure
The project covers the Southern and Northern Bypasses of Tamoios, totaling 33.9 km in length.
The Southern Bypass, featuring single and double lanes, connects Caraguatatuba to the Port of São Sebastião in just 18 minutes, offering a fast and safe route.
The Northern Bypass, inaugurated in 2023, starts from the Casa Branca neighborhood in Caraguatatuba, totaling 17 km.
According to state government officials, the goal is to reduce congestion and facilitate access to the north coast beaches, one of the most sought-after destinations by residents of São Paulo and tourists from other states.
In addition, the project is seen as strategic for port logistics, efficiently connecting the Port of São Sebastião to other regions.
Technology Tolls and Environmental Benefits
One of the most anticipated innovations of the new highway is the free flow toll system, located at kilometer 13.5 of the Southern Bypass.
This technology eliminates the need for stops for payment, replacing traditional toll plazas with electronic portals that automatically read license plates or tags installed on vehicles.
The fee, set at around R$ 5, is considered affordable and advantageous for drivers who value speed on their journey.
Experts highlight that the free flow model reduces pollutant emissions, as it eliminates the need for constant deceleration and acceleration at toll points.
This advancement also reinforces the project’s commitment to sustainability, an aspect appreciated by both tourists and local residents.
State-of-the-Art Infrastructure and Safety
In addition to the innovative toll system, the new highway was designed with high safety standards.
The tunnels, totaling 3.4 km, feature advanced ventilation systems and emergency exits, ensuring comfort and protection for users.
These tunnels were inspired by the Nova Serra da Tamoios, considered a national reference in highway infrastructure.
According to engineers responsible for the project, the protective barriers and real-time monitoring along the highway enhance efficiency in emergency response.
This combination of technology and planning is seen as essential to transform the highway into a model for other projects in Brazil.
Economic Development and Job Creation
The economic impact of this highway is significant.
According to estimates, more than 25 million drivers are expected to use it annually, boosting sectors such as hospitality, gastronomy, and commerce.
The expectation is that the project will also generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, especially in areas related to tourism and logistics.
The state government believes that the increase in visitor traffic will expand opportunities for local small businesses, boosting the economies of cities like Caraguatatuba and São Sebastião.
This promising scenario may also attract new investments to the region, strengthening its economic importance for the state.
Sustainability and Environmental Preservation
Despite the significant impact of the project, environmental concerns have been present since the beginning.
The highway’s route was designed to preserve the Atlantic Forest as much as possible and minimize damage to local biodiversity.
Acoustic barriers and exclusive passages for animals have been installed along the route, contributing to wildlife protection.
This sustainable approach reflects a global trend in large infrastructure projects, which seek to balance economic development with environmental responsibility.
A Promising Future for the Paulista Coast
The new highway represents much more than an alternative for mobility.
It symbolizes a promising future for the north Paulista coast, offering benefits that go beyond fast and safe traffic.
The expectation is that the region will experience significant economic growth in the coming years, attracting tourists and investors.
The focus now is on the inauguration and how this infrastructure will be received by those who depend on it the most: drivers and residents of the region.
