Duplication of BR-153/SP Starts with Investment of R$ 550 Million. Project Will Reduce Accidents, Improve Freight Transport, and Boost Regional Economy

The duplication of BR-153 in São Paulo has come to fruition. On Friday (29/9), the National Agency for Land Transportation (ANTT) and the concessionaire Triunfo Transbrasiliana signed the Work Order to begin construction on the stretch from Icém, on the border with Minas Gerais, to São José do Rio Preto, covering 51.7 kilometers between km 0 and km 51.7.

The ceremony was attended by municipal, state, and federal authorities as well as the Federal Highway Police, reinforcing the strategic nature of the intervention.

First Actions on the Construction Site

Work began on August 25, with cleaning and vegetation suppression services in the right-of-way. All activities comply with environmental legislation.

The project includes the complete duplication of 51.7 km, the construction of four bridges, and one pedestrian overpass.

In addition, 12 grade-separated interchanges and three at-grade accesses are planned, enhancing mobility and safety.

Four grade-separated U-turns and three wildlife crossings will also be implemented, ensuring environmental preservation. Two existing special artworks will undergo expansion and modernization.

Direct and Indirect Benefits

The duplication meets an old demand in the region. The intervention should reduce accidents, decrease travel time, and increase the efficiency of freight transport.

Another important aspect is the integration with strategic highways such as Washington Luís (SP-310) and Assis Chateaubriand (SP-425), enhancing connectivity in the interior of São Paulo.

In addition to improvements for users, the work is expected to generate direct and indirect jobs, stimulate the local economy, and increase tax revenue.

Nearby municipalities will have new opportunities in commerce, services, and logistics.

For ANTT, the signing of the Work Order reinforces the commitment to a safer, more competitive, and transparent road infrastructure.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

On the coast of Guyana, neighboring Brazil, ExxonMobil has begun drilling oil wells with an automated system that practically removes human hands from controlling the drill.

Santa Catarina invests R$ 1 billion against the risk of El Niño, accelerates work on dams, cleans rivers, delivers 641 bridges and 126 water trucks, and prepares 295 municipalities for heavy rains, floods, and landslides still in 2026.

He looks alien, and it’s on purpose: the Helios abandons the legs of common humanoid robots and gains four arms to move, anchor, and operate in zero gravity, with the promise of eventually even helping with the maintenance of satellites and structures in orbit.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.
