MS-377 para impulsionar o Projeto Sucuriú da Arauco, com 14 mil empregos e 3,5 milhões de toneladas de celulose por ano.

Be the first to react!

In The Heart Of The Pulp Valley, One Of The Fastest-Growing Regions In The Country, The Government Of Mato Grosso Do Sul Begins A Work Considered Strategic To Transform The State’s Logistics. With An Investment Of R$ 26.89 Million, Two New Paved Access Points Will Be Built On Highway MS-377, Connecting Três Lagoas And Inocência, And Preparing The Ground For The Arrival Of Arauco Do Brasil’s Mega Pulp Plant.

The State Government Has Signed A Contract Worth R$ 26.89 Million For The Construction And Paving Of Two Access Points On Highway MS-377.

The Initiative Will Be Executed By Agesul (State Agency For Enterprise Management) And Will Address The Stretch Connecting Três Lagoas To Inocência, In The Eastern Region Of The State, Known As The Pulp Valley.

The Goal Is To Provide Logistic Support For The Advancement Of The Sucuriú Project, From Arauco Do Brasil, Considered A Mega Investment In The Pulp Sector.

Timeline And Strategic Planning

According To Agesul, The Services Are Expected To Be Completed Within 360 Consecutive Days From The Start Order.

The State Secretary Of Infrastructure And Logistics, Guilherme Alcântara, Stated That The Project Is Part Of A Plan To Expand The Regional Road Network, Aligned With The State’s New Economic Geography.

He Emphasized That The Paving Of The Access Points Represents A Policy Of Anticipation To The Demands Of The Productive Sector.

High-Performance Logistics

According To Alcântara, The Access Points Have A Technical Design Focused On High-Performance Logistics And Include Modern Interchange Devices.

“We Are Not Just Connecting Points On The Map, We Are Designing Solutions That Absorb Growth With Safety And Operational Predictability,” Stressed The Secretary.

Agesul Reported That The Project Includes Two Distinct Access Points To The Arauco Industrial Plant, Both Connected To MS-377.

Details Of The Two Access Points

The Main Access Point, At Km 94, Will Have A Two-Level Design With A “Trumpet” Interconnection, A Solution Used In High-Flow Intersections.

This Structure Includes Deceleration And Acceleration Lanes To Ensure Safe Entrances And Exits, Especially For Trailers And Freight Compositions.

The Secondary Access Point, At Km 97, Will Be Of The Type Elongated Roundabout, Prioritizing Traffic Flow On The Highway Itself.

Impact On Safety And Flow

The Combination Of The Two Devices Aims To Optimize Logistic Flow And Increase Road Safety Levels For Workers, Suppliers, And The Local Community.

The Forecast Is That The New Structures Will Reduce Accident Risks, Eliminate Logistic Bottlenecks, And Allow For Freight Flow With Greater Predictability.

Job Creation And Development

The Sucuriú Project, From Arauco Of Brazil, Is Considered One Of The Largest Ongoing Private Investments In The Country.

With An Investment Exceeding US$ 4.6 Billion, The Plant Will Have An Initial Capacity Of 3.5 Million Tons Of Pulp Per Year.

The Expectation Is To Employ More Than 14,000 People At The Peak Of Construction And Generate About 6,000 Permanent Jobs.

Consolidation Of The Pulp Valley

Located In A Strategic Area, The Municipality Of Inocência Connects Eucalyptus Plantations To Export Corridors, Such As The Ports Of Santos And Paranaguá.

The Construction Of The Access Points Is Part Of The Government’s Effort To Consolidate The Pulp Valley As A Competitive Hub In The Brazilian Forestry Chain.

The Delivery Is Expected To Occur In 2026, Marking A New Stage In The State’s Logistic And Industrial Expansion.

Consolidation Of The Pulp Valley

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

While many elderly people still face difficulties seeing due to lack of access, Porto Alegre already delivers free glasses within 10 days for those over 60 and can benefit 320,000 people.

Earth has hidden “scars” at a depth of 2,900 km, and scientists have just discovered that ancient plates still stir the planet’s interior.

Ozempic may have an unexpected effect beyond weight loss: study with nearly 100,000 people links semaglutide to reduced depression and anxiety.

Engineers in Hawaii use chilled water drawn from the ocean depths to cool entire buildings, reduce energy consumption by up to 70%, and unveil a technology that could leave air conditioners in the past.

Researchers from USP found mercury still active in the soil of the Atlantic Forest 52 years after illegal mining stopped in the area, and the contamination continues to pose a risk to plants, animals, and humans living in the region.
