en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Brazilian Ministry of Transport has officially launched the tender for the Goiânia Highway Ring Road (BR-153/GO). The project will receive R$1.126 billion in funding from the new PAC (Brazilian Growth Acceleration Program), planning to construct a 44-kilometer new section aimed at diverting heavy trucks currently passing through the capital of Goiás state to the outskirts.

The core objective of the project is to reorganize traffic flow in the Goiânia metropolitan area. By redirecting through trucks to the new section, it aims to reduce their interweaving with city cars, thereby improving urban traffic conditions and enhancing the transport efficiency of this key Brazilian logistics corridor.

The tender notice is expected to be published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU) during the third week of June 2026. The project scope covers the 482 km to 519 km stretch of BR-153 (also known as the Transbrasiliana Highway). This highway serves as a vital link connecting Brazil's Central-West and North regions, playing a strategic axis role in the transportation of agricultural products and various goods.

The ring road project will directly benefit cities surrounding Goiânia, such as Senador Canedo, Aparecida de Goiânia, and Hidrolândia. Planned works include the construction of bridges, viaducts, and other supporting structures to enhance road capacity and traffic safety. Once completed, heavy trucks will be able to bypass the urban area, which is expected to alleviate congestion, reduce travel time, and improve overall cargo transport efficiency.
