Senator Esperidiao Amin (PP) said this Wednesday (31) that BR-101 in Joinville, north of Santa Catarina, and Itajai, on the north coast of the state, is experiencing “the beginning of collapse.” The situation on the highway was discussed at a meeting at the headquarters of ANTT (National Land Transport Agency) with the agency’s CEO, Rafael Vitale.

According to Amin, budgets for emergency and restoration work on the highway should be completed in June. “We are already experiencing the beginning of the collapse. And emergency work to service these two areas of BR-101 is already underway,” says Amin.
