Three upcoming large-scale projects will add R$21.8 billion in enhancements to São Paulo’s roadways: the Paranapanema Lot, the Mogiana Route, and the Circuito das Águas — covering 1,203 kilometers of highways across various regions of the state. These initiatives are part of a new generation of concessions led by the São Paulo State Government through the Secretariat for Investment Partnerships (SPI).
These investments will be incorporated into SP for Every Project (SP pra Toda Obra), the largest highway modernization and improvement program in the state’s history. The package totals R$30 billion in investments in both public and concession highways, combining efforts from the State Roads Department (DER) and concessionaires, under the supervision of the State Transport Agency (Artesp). There are more than 1,500 works planned, spanning 22,300 km and generating 252,000 jobs. So far, 544 works have been completed, 208 are in progress, and 829 are in the pipeline.
With the signing of the new concessions, total investments are expected to exceed R$50 billion. The largest of the three new lots is the Circuito das Águas, which includes 533 km of highways across 33 municipalities. The project is strategic for boosting the economy, tourism, and mobility in São Paulo’s interior. It includes R$10 billion in investments for road duplication, added capacity, shoulders, extra lanes, and pedestrian walkways.
One of the highlights of these projects is the implementation of the free-flow electronic tolling system, replacing traditional toll booths with automatic gantries. This model allows users to pay only for the distance traveled, ensuring fairer tolls, smoother traffic, and fewer accidents.
The Paranapanema Lot covers 285 km of roads and will receive R$5.8 billion in estimated investments. Planned works include duplications, access ramps, walkways, and infrastructure upgrades to improve traffic flow and safety, benefiting 13 municipalities.
The Mogiana Route will span 385 km and positively impact 19 municipalities. The investment of R$6 billion will focus on road duplications, additional lanes, shoulders, walkways, and other infrastructure enhancements to support regional development and mobility.
SP for Every Project
With the São Paulo for Every Project program, the State is delivering real benefits to residents across all regions by modernizing state roads — including public, concession, and local access roads. This is the largest road infrastructure program in São Paulo’s history, totaling R$30 billion in completed, ongoing, and scheduled works on both public and concession highways.
The initiative, set to expand, already covers 22,300 kilometers — the equivalent of a trip from São Paulo to Japan. The interventions span major highways, state and local roads, and, for the first time, integrate over 1,500 public and private works to boost the state’s development.
The impact on the job market is also significant: about 250,000 jobs created — more than the population of medium-sized cities like Araçatuba, which has around 200,000 inhabitants. Additionally, the program benefits 8 out of 10 municipalities in São Paulo and reaches over 540 cities.
