Governor Tarcísio de Freitas began the first day of meetings of the third international roadshow promoted by his administration this year on Tuesday (22). The aim is to attract investors to the projects of the Investment Partnership Program (PPI-SP), which has an estimated portfolio of more than R$ 550 billion.
During a meeting held in Amsterdam, Holland, the São Paulo delegation presented the Santos-Guarujá submerged tunnel project to executives from the Ballast Nedam construction company. Long awaited by the region for more than a century, the link will have lanes for vehicles, a bike lane, a pedestrian walkway and an exclusive lane for the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV). The auction is scheduled for August 1st and the estimated investment is R$6 billion, through a 30-year sponsored concession.
Another initiative presented to investors was the project to modernize water crossings, which includes R$1 billion in investments to modernize 14 water transport lines. The proposal also includes replacing the fleet with more than 40 state-of-the-art vessels, including electric models, which will increase the sustainability of the system. The tender will be launched in the first half of 2025.
The next appointments on the international mission will be in Denmark and Norway, where Governor Tarcísio de Freitas will meet with leaders from companies such as TEC Tunnel, Immontec, Ruter, LNS, Sweco, DFDS, Maersk and Femern A/S.
The delegation will also pay a technical visit to the Fehmarnbelt underwater tunnel, under construction between Denmark and Germany. With a length of 18 kilometers, four lanes of road and two railway lines, the mega-structure is considered a global benchmark and serves as an example for the Santos-Guarujá Tunnel project.
