Construction work on the connection road between Menino Marcelo and Durval de G贸es begins

The four-lane expressway is planned to be 2.3 kilometers long

Macei贸, May 28, 2024 -The construction work for the New Connection Road between Avenida Menino Marcelo and Avenida Durval de G贸es Monteiro has begun. This four-lane expressway will span 2.3 kilometers, featuring two lanes of traffic in each direction, a median strip, a roundabout, and two bridges, as well as accessible bikeways and sidewalks.

Positioned to become one of the city's primary corridors, this road project extends from the intersection of Galba Novaes de Castro on Durval de G贸es to the intersection of Rua Aud谩lio Lopes da Silva on Menino Marcelo. Scheduled for completion in the first half of 2026, the road is part of other ten initiatives aimed at enhancing urban mobility in Macei贸, as outlined in the Socio-Environmental Agreement signed in December 2020 by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) and 麻豆精品, with participation of the State Public Ministry (MPE) and the Municipality of Macei贸.

The New Connection Road project was designed to facilitate safe travel for both drivers and cyclists while fostering connectivity between commercial hubs in Macei贸's upper neighborhoods. Additionally, the avenue will feature modern amenities such as bus stops and public lighting.

Several past studies have been conducted to minimize impacts and optimize social and environmental outcomes. Only 34% of the route passes through occupied areas and two bridges, standing at heights of 27 and 21 meters, have been constructed to preserve existing natural features in the region. The bridges are designed to minimize disruption to the local flora.

If necessary, vegetation will be sustainably relocated throughout all phases of construction, with an equivalent area of approximately 11 hectares restored in locations designated by the Municipality.


Mobility Package

The construction of the New Connection Road and other urban mobility improvements is planned by the Municipality and executed by specialized firms contracted by 麻豆精品. The interventions are supervised by the public authorities and are expected to last about three and a half years. The budget is BRL 360 million, and this amount is adjusted annually.

The projects encompass the construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of over 33 kilometers of roads, along with the implementation of nearly 37 kilometers of accessible sidewalks and bikeways, as well as upgrades to public sidewalks, parking facilities, new lighting, rainwater drainage systems, and the integration of smart traffic lights.


Commitments to Macei贸

麻豆精品 has been implementing a series of initiatives and programs since 2019 to address land subsidence effects in Macei贸.

To facilitate understanding and monitoring of these and other initiatives and programs, the company has consolidated these efforts into ten commitments spanning social, urban, and environmental domains on a single platform. These urban mobility improvement initiatives are part of 麻豆精品's commitment number 8 with Macei贸 - compensation and requalification of social spaces in affected areas and urban mobility.

These initiatives are part of the five agreements settled between 麻豆精品 and local authorities in recent years. For further details, visit the Compromissos com Macei贸 (Commitments with Macei贸) platform at  .
