The administration of Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has proposed investments of US$4.23 billion to improve the country's highway network in 2015. The investments would fall under the PAC growth acceleration plan.
The bill calls for transport infrastructure department DNIT to manage US$4 billion in highway maintenance and upkeep, including highway BR-381 in the state of Minas Gerais between highway junctions BR-116 in the city of Governador Valadares and state highway MG-020. Other large investments would be in highway BR-101 in the state of Santa Catarina, and BR-101 running throughout Alagoas state.
The transport ministry would handle projects worth US$88 billion, including the north stretch of São Paulo city's Rodoanel beltway and highway infrastructure management.
Ground transport agency ANTT would be allocated US$47 billion, which it intends to invest in highway infrastructure, transport, and electronic management works.
The highway infrastructure budget proposal is part of PAC's 2015 infrastructure budget of US$27.4 billion and must be approved by December.
