The Secretariat for Partnerships in Investments of the Government of São Paulo, through the State Partnership Program (PPI-SP), has qualified the public-private partnership (PPP) concession project for the Paranapanema highway system. The project includes the expansion, operation, and maintenance of 282.3 kilometers of highways, benefiting 13 municipalities in the southwestern region of the state. To ensure smoother traffic flow and enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians, the entire stretch will be fully monitored by CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras.
The security system captures and stores footage from closed-circuit cameras connected to a central network, enabling rapid response to various incidents along the concession area.
In addition to full CCTV coverage with automatic incident detection, the operational investments planned for the state’s concession highways include LED lighting in all urbanized areas and infrastructure points such as pedestrian overpasses and bus stops.
The project also includes variable message signs, wireless communication coverage, dynamic weigh stations, ambulances for pre-hospital care, and tow trucks.
With a 30-year term, the PPP will invest a total of R$ 4.7 billion in infrastructure works and an estimated R$ 4.5 billion in operational expenses over the course of the concession.
The concession will directly serve the municipalities of Angatuba, Bernardino de Campos, Buri, Campina do Monte Alegre, Canitar, Chavantes, Ipaussu, Itaí, Itapetininga, Ourinhos, Paranapanema, Piraju, and Tejupá.
In December 2024, Artesp held three public hearings—in Ourinhos and Itapetininga (in person), and in São Paulo (hybrid format). These public sessions saw broad participation from the community, including residents, local authorities, and lawmakers. The public notice is scheduled for release in April of this year.
