The concession of Rota Mogiana, promoted by the Government of São Paulo through the Secretariat for Investment Partnerships, is expected to strengthen tourism routes across the state’s interior by modernizing highways from the Campinas region to the border with southern Minas Gerais. From therapeutic spring waters and guided tours at scenic wineries to gastronomic experiences and festivals celebrating regional fruits, the options are diverse and plentiful.
In total, the lot covers sections of 11 highways and 18 municipalities along 520 kilometers. The plan foresees R$ 8.9 billion in investments to facilitate access to tourism through duplication works, installation of passing lanes, construction of frontage roads, shoulders, pedestrian overpasses and upgrades to access structures.
The Adhemar Pereira de Barros Highway (SP-340) will be one of the roadways receiving improvements, including an additional lane between Campinas and Mogi Guaçu. Along this route, travelers can access Jaguariúna for a nostalgic ride aboard the Maria Fumaça steam train. Visitors can also enjoy an afternoon in the European-style atmosphere of Holambra, surrounded by Dutch-inspired culture and architecture and home to Brazil’s most famous flower exhibition. The municipality is crossed by the Aziz Lian Highway (SP-107), which will be duplicated over 30 kilometers between Santo Antônio de Posse and Artur Nogueira.
Overall, the project includes 217 kilometers of duplicated lanes; 138 kilometers of passing lanes; construction or adaptation of 151 access structures; 96 kilometers of frontage roads; 59 pedestrian overpasses; 135 bus stops; and the implementation of a new bypass.
Continuing toward the Minas Gerais border, São João da Boa Vista and Mogi Mirim offer historic farms and renowned coffee production. Espírito Santo do Pinhal, with its sophisticated wineries, is emerging as a new highlight for wine tourism in São Paulo. Further along the SP-342, in Águas da Prata, therapeutic waters are the main attraction, alongside activities at Pico do Gavião for free-flight enthusiasts and the popular blues festival in the Mantiqueira Mountains.
For Águas da Prata, the plan includes duplication up to the Minas Gerais border and construction of a new bypass that will redirect traffic away from the city center and address a long-standing demand of local residents. The project also foresees duplication of the Dom Tomás Vaqueiro Highway (SP-344) between São João da Boa Vista and Casa Branca, a region rich in ecotourism opportunities, including trails, waterfalls and mountain chalets.

The Rota Mogiana Lot includes sections of highways SP-107, SP-133, SP-215, SP-225, SP-338, SP-333, SP-340, SP-342, SP-344, SP-350 and SPI-225/342, crossing 18 municipalities in the State of São Paulo: Cajuru, Santa Cruz da Esperança, Mococa, Tapiratiba, São José do Rio Pardo, Casa Branca, Vargem Grande do Sul, Águas da Prata, São João da Boa Vista, Mogi Guaçu, Mogi Mirim, Espírito Santo do Pinhal, Aguaí, Artur Nogueira, Holambra, Santo Antônio de Posse, Cosmópolis and Campinas.
The project’s public notice was released in the second half of this year and reflects a comprehensive technical review conducted by the Secretariat for Investment Partnerships (SPI), based on 284 contributions received during public consultations and hearings, 83% of which were fully or partially incorporated. This process ensured a more balanced and transparent model that addresses regional needs while prioritizing safety, efficiency and service quality.
The updated project incorporates stretches currently under the Renovias concession. Highways previously divided between the Rota Mogiana and Circuito das Águas lots have now been integrated into a single project—Rota Mogiana—ensuring greater rationality and logistical integration. With this new structure, the project will move forward to auction, while the Circuito das Águas will remain under study by SPI’s technical teams. The future concessionaire will be responsible for expanding, operating, maintaining and managing the road network for 30 years.
