The Municipality of Santos, on the coast of São Paulo, signed a protocol of intentions to construct a new viaduct to access the Port of Santos. The agreement was signed on Monday, August 2, with ABTTC (the Brazilian association of retro port terminals and container-transporting companies). The new viaduct should connect the Alemoa Industrial District, in the port area, to Avenida Bandeirantes. According to the municipal administration, a functional project and a traffic study in that region -referring to the road structure – will be carried out by ABTTC. The initial investment in the study and elaboration of the project must be up to R$ 200,000, the amount being paid by the member companies. The expected delivery of the studies and the project is 90 days. The city’s proposal consists of implementing an exit route from the terminals area, departing from Rua Doutor Alberto Schweitzer, and arriving at Avenida Bandeirantes to access Via Anchieta. The objective is to reduce the concentration of trucks entering the Alemoa Viaduct. The investment should be between R$ 30 million and R$ 40 million.
