Peak time early in the day last Thursday (30) when he visited the region allowed Infrastructure and Mobility Minister Jerry Comper to get a close look at one of the community dramas of Vale do Itapocu with the logistics of the area’s main highway.

When inspecting duplicate work on the state section BR-280, the secretary traveled around the construction site for 9 kilometers, where the so-called works of art (viaducts, overpasses and pedestrian bridges) are being made, but in the noise from automobile and freight traffic, the speech of the secretary and managers was almost inaudible explaining to him the urgent need for services.

One of the biggest bottlenecks for the flow of production and user circulation in general, the “Ponte do Portal” on the border between Guaramirim and Jaragua, has harassed the business class and earned a request for priority among the priorities for a state government representative.

Daniel Marteleto Godinho, vice president of the Associação Empresarial de Jaraguá and director of WEG, cited as one example the difficulties the company itself faces in moving heavy equipment such as large electric motors, in operations that require escort by the traffic police and they even block all the length of the bridge and overload a good part of the route up to the exit to BR-101 towards other areas.

With the schedule in hand, the secretary heard from the technical team in charge of the work that the entire project was forecast to be completed by April 2024.
