The funds are allocated to the "Bridge of the Future" highway interchange hub, the João Pessoa metropolitan ring road, and the "City of Astronomy" to be built in the arid hinterland of the state.

In the financing arrangement, the largest amount of 450 million reais is designated for the construction of the "Bridge of the Future" highway interchange hub, a project aimed at optimizing traffic flow in the Greater João Pessoa metropolitan area and enhancing connectivity between federal and state highways. Another 185 million reais will be invested in the João Pessoa metropolitan ring road, which plans to connect highways BR-101 and BR-230 and divert heavy freight traffic away from the state capital's urban area.

BNDES also approved 55.7 million reais for the construction of the "City of Astronomy" in Carapateiras. This facility will be integrated into the scientific complex of the arid hinterland, featuring a planetarium, exhibition areas, an auditorium, and dedicated spaces for science communication.

With this, the total financing announced by BNDES in the state has exceeded 840 million reais.
