EPR Vias, a concessionaire responsible for highway management in Paraná, Brazil, has initiated the installation of fences in rural properties bordering major highways such as PR-445, PR-090, and PR-323. This measure aims to delineate public domain areas from private lands, which are crucial for highway operations, encompassing roads, shoulders, and lateral margins. The width of these public domain areas can vary, extending up to 30 meters in some sections, reflecting the specific needs of each highway segment.

The company reports that approximately 150 agricultural properties currently occupy these areas, where the new eucalyptus and barbed wire fences have been erected. These developments are part of a broader initiative to comply with regulations governing the management of public highway space. The implementation of the fencing system is meant to enhance safety and organization along these important transport routes, which are vital for local economic activities.

Additionally, EPR Vias has emphasized its commitment to maintaining communication with local agricultural unions and farmers since the second half of 2025. The company has undertaken efforts such as site visits and distribution of informative materials to ensure stakeholders are aware of these changes and involved in the process, highlighting the importance of transparency and community engagement in infrastructure projects.
