en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian infrastructure company Arteris has commenced highway improvement works on Brazil's BR-101 highway, part of a series of projects with total investment expected to reach 10.18 billion reais (approximately US$2 billion).

This week, under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport, the construction order was signed to launch the highway improvement works on the section known as the "Fluminense Highway," aiming to improve the 322.1-kilometer stretch between the border of Rio de Janeiro state and Espírito Santo state. Arteris won the concession contract for this highway improvement last year, with a term of 22 years.

The highway improvement works to be carried out by Arteris mainly include nearly 50 kilometers of dual carriageway expansion and the construction of over 52 kilometers of additional lanes. The highway improvement concession contract covers the section of the BR-101 highway at the border between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo states, with the scope of work including lane expansion, road improvements, and the construction of ancillary facilities. Brazil's highway sector benefits from a strong concession program and is one of the areas receiving the most investment in the country in the coming years.
