Revamped Santos-Guarujá bridge project to be set before government

Today Ecovias informed it is about to present a reformulated version of the dry Santos-Guarujá link project to the state government so that it can be reviewed based on new suggestions and improvements, as it seeks to serve the multimodal transport community. This information was provided by the executive director of Highway Concessions at EcoRodovias, Rui Klein, during the webinar “Optimization of transport infrastructure and solutions for logistical bottlenecks”, promoted by the National Brazil Export Forum.

To try to win the approval of the port authority, Ecovias made changes to the bridge project connecting the two banks of the port.  It increased the distance between the pillars of the bridge from 325 m to 750 m (more than doubled) and the pillars were removed from the Estuary according to the demands presented by the port authority, said State Secretary João Octaviano Neto.

“I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I can say that in July and August we will have prominent agendas for the reconfigured project. Everyone who has had criticisms and concerns, such as the port authority, will be happy with the result ”, guaranteed Rui Klein. The Santos-Guarujá bridge would be “the icing on the cake” of the set of works that would include the Planalto-Baixada interconnection, the largest export corridor in Latin America, said Rui Klein during the debate.

Similar to Ecovias, the state government also recently announced it would present the new version of the dry connection project (Ecovias bridge) to the federal government and the Port of Santos.  However, no deadline was set for this and there is no news as yet regarding approval of the bridge’s environmental licenses, according to the São Paulo State Environmental Company (Cetesb).
