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.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Almost no doctor at the time could explain how ordinary people turned into math or music geniuses overnight after a blow to the head.

The future of computers may change sooner than expected: Amazon bets on commercial quantum computing within seven years, while qubits, the Ocelot chip, AI, and scientific simulations take center stage in the new race among big techs.
