The publication of the Rota Mogiana concession notice, covering 520 kilometers and foreseeing R$ 8.9 billion in investments, marks a new stage in the highway modernization program led by the Government of São Paulo. Combined with the contracts already in place, the initiative brings the total projected duplicated highways under the current administration to nearly 750 kilometers.
With this, the State reaches 2,214 kilometers of auctioned highways since 2023, under Governor Tarcísio de Freitas—an increase compared to the previously contracted 1,694 kilometers until the Paranapanema Lot auction. These concessions represent approximately 40% of the 1,800 kilometers of highways qualified under the São Paulo State Investment Partnerships Program (PPI-SP).
“The goal of the Government of São Paulo is to integrate routes and strengthen new logistics and service corridors, supporting the flow of industrial and agricultural production to other states, as well as a significant portion of Brazil’s GDP that crosses state highways toward the Port of Santos,” explains Rafael Benini, Secretary for Investment Partnerships. According to him, the duplication and modernization of this extensive network also increase safety and comfort for users, while promoting services and tourism across São Paulo.
The awarded and upcoming lots foresee more than R$ 51 billion in investments over their concession terms. Investments include R$ 8.8 billion for Rota Sorocabana, R$ 4.3 billion for Lote Litoral, R$ 7.9 billion for Nova Raposo Tavares, R$ 5.8 billion for Lote Paranapanema, R$ 8.9 billion for Rota Mogiana, R$ 11.9 billion for Lote Noroeste and R$ 3.4 billion for the completion of the northern section of the Rodoanel.
The modernization package also includes approximately 430 kilometers of passing lanes and 250 kilometers of new frontage roads, reinforcing the State’s commitment to increasing safety, reducing travel times and promoting regional development.
Among the highlights is the northern section of the Rodoanel, which will connect the Port of Santos to the Fernão Dias Highway, linking São Paulo to Minas Gerais and the Northeast region. Another major corridor set to become safer and more competitive is the Raposo Tavares Highway (SP-270), which links the capital to the border of Mato Grosso do Sul. More than 180 kilometers of new duplicated lanes are planned along this route, considered the longest highway in the State with 654 kilometers.
The goal is to transform Raposo Tavares into a new strategic corridor for agricultural exports, connecting São Paulo’s interior and the Midwest region to the Port of Santos. This will make the highway a competitive alternative to the Castello Branco Highway (SP-280), currently overburdened, especially near Barueri.
Another major intervention will fully duplicate the Padre Manoel da Nóbrega Highway (SP-055), which connects Cubatão, in Serra do Mar, to Vale do Ribeira, crossing several municipalities in the Baixada Santista region. Duplication works will occur between Bertioga and Santos, and between Peruíbe and Miracatu. In addition to new lanes, passing lanes and shoulders, the project includes pedestrian overpasses, grade-separated crossings, camera monitoring, improved signage and LED lighting in urban areas.
Rota Mogiana strengthens this expansion plan with 217 kilometers of duplications, 138 kilometers of passing lanes, 96 kilometers of frontage roads, 59 new overpasses, 135 bus stops and a new bypass in Águas da Prata. The project incorporated 284 public contributions, 83% of which were accepted, and the auction is scheduled for February 27, 2026, at B3 in São Paulo. The future concessionaire will take over stretches currently managed by Renovias and DER-SP, ensuring greater logistical integration and safety.
Siga Fácil
The new highway concessions will gradually implement toll collection via the Siga Fácil system, beginning with the Raposo Tavares Highway, part of the Rota Sorocabana lot. The State system replaces toll plazas with smart electronic gantries, identifying vehicles by license plate or tag, ensuring faster, more efficient and fair tolling.
With Siga Fácil, drivers pay only for the distance traveled. Supervised by the São Paulo State Transport Regulatory Agency (Artesp), the system eliminates queues and reduces accidents. The website sigafacil.sp.gov.br provides maps of toll gantries, payment methods and service channels.
