Today I was in Baixada Fluminense to oversee the works on Via Dutra. We are modernizing one of the main highways in the country to adapt it to economic growth and the needs of the 21st century. In Baixada, there are R$ 20 billion in investments. Among the works are: 🔹New ascending and descending lane of Serra das Araras 🔹New marginal roads and additional lanes on Dutra 🔹New access points, overpasses, and pedestrian bridges 🔹Drainage and road safety works 🔹Duplication of BR-493, between Magé and Manilha These works improve the lives of those who travel through the region every day and have an important impact on the economy. They increase transport capacity, reduce bottlenecks, and improve the flow of production, strengthening the connection between producing regions, the Metropolitan Region, and the Port. It is not enough to improve the flow on Dutra. It is also necessary to ensure good access to the cities and improve the mobility of those who live in the region. It is infrastructure to improve people's lives and pave the way for more development in Baixada and Rio de Janeiro. 📸 @ricardostuckert (translated)
