Port of Santos to gain new access road

Santos Port Authority (SPA) contracted a company to prepare the basic construction plan for a new access road at the Port of Santos which will connect Via Anchieta to the perimeter avenue and will be part of the new entrance to the city of Santos. The contract signed with Empresa Brasileira de Engenharia de Infraestrutura (Ebei) was published last Monday, September 21, in the Federal Register. Since part of the land was outside the former area of ​​the organized port, the approval of the new polygonal, on June 30, allowed the conclusion of the process.

“The tender was opened approximately two years ago, but the signing of the contract was only possible once the land where the new viaduct will pass was included in the area of the organized port”, stated Bruno Stupello, Director of Business Development and Regulation and interim Director of SPA Infrastructure.

Valued at approximately R$ 3.5 million, the service has a contractual term of 18 months for its completion. The project foresees a port entrance via a viaduct passing over the Anchieta highway and other viaducts for transposing railway tracks. The road system will also consist of roundabouts, a central construction site, and other access devices necessary to connect the routes. All planned interventions must contain the respective urbanism, geometric, geotechnical, drainage, paving, energy, lighting, telephone, logic and monitoring projects, road and traffic light signs, special works of art, traffic diversion, and re-management of interferences.

The second entrance to the port, in addition to providing more security, will provide more agile road access to the complex’s terminals by segregating truck traffic from urban traffic and eliminating road-railway intersections, thus improving the port/city relationship.
