Federal Public Ministry Investigates Whether Drilling and Initial Works of Salvador-Itaparica Bridge Are Complying with Current Environmental Regulations

The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) opened an investigation to examine potential environmental damages related to the construction of the bridge between Salvador and Itaparica, in Bahia. This is one of the largest infrastructure projects ever planned in the state.

With an expected length of over 12 kilometers, the bridge will be the largest construction over water in Latin America. The total project envisions investments of approximately 10 billion reais.

The project is under the responsibility of a Chinese group that obtained the concession through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Initial work has already started, with the performance of the first technical surveys at the site where the future foundations of the bridge will be made.

According to the presented project, 102 drillings will be necessary along the entire route to enable the construction of the structure. These drillings are part of the technical and geological planning of the work.

The objective of the MPF’s inquiry is to ensure that the activities do not cause harm to the environment of the region. The investigations aim to assess whether the stages of the project are in compliance with current environmental regulations.

The Salvador-Itaparica bridge remains one of the most emblematic projects underway in the country.
