Historic investment by EPR transforms mobility and safety in Paranaguá
Paranaguá is entering a new phase of development with historic investments aimed at improving its road infrastructure and safety.
Paranaguá is experiencing a significant transformation in its infrastructure due to unprecedented investments in road systems. The recent inclusion of key routes, like the Ayrton Senna and Bento Rocha avenues, into a highway concession contract marks a turning point for the city. This development allows for extensive improvement projects and operational enhancements by EPR Litoral Pioneiro, the concession company also responsible for managing the BR-277 highway. Historically, these urban areas had not been included in previous concession programs, highlighting the significance of this initiative.
The EPR is not just concentrating on infrastructure upgrade; it emphasizes traffic fluidity and the preservation of lives as central objectives. From the start of their concession, the company has been committed to ongoing maintenance, conservation, and recovery of pavement, as well as improvements in signage, drainage, and earthworks to better serve the local community and enhance overall road safety. This proactive approach indicates an understanding of the critical relationship between infrastructure and community well-being.
The implications of these investments are profound for the residents of Paranaguá, offering a promise of improved connectivity and safety on the roads. By integrating strategic urban corridors into a comprehensive management framework, the EPR is setting a precedent for future urban planning in the region. This initiative is expected to not only boost local economic activity by facilitating easier access to the port but also to substantially reduce the likelihood of traffic-related accidents, thus fostering a safer environment for all commuters.
