The Lote Litoral Paulista will modernize 212 kilometers of highways in the Baixada Santista with an estimated investment of R$ 4.3 billion. Works include duplications, new frontage roads, bike lanes, pedestrian overpasses, pavement rehabilitation, and upgraded signage, as well as safety-enhancing technologies such as surveillance cameras and 24-hour service stations.
Investments are monitored and supervised by Artesp (São Paulo State Transport Agency). Highways crossing the Baixada Santista, Alto Tietê, and Vale do Ribeira have already received 17,300 tons of asphalt to repair critical sections. In addition, concessionaire Novo Litoral is installing eight new user service stations (SAUs), providing 24-hour roadside assistance.
The SP-055 (Padre Manoel da Nóbrega), SP-098 (Mogi–Bertioga), and SP-088 highways are undergoing initial improvement works to enhance traffic flow, safety, and user service. The electronic toll system, Siga Fácil, will be introduced alongside this package, with revenues helping fund the contractual improvements.
Project timeline
- 2025 – Installation of eight SAUs, each providing 24-hour highway monitoring, medical ambulances, tow trucks, and improved road segments totaling 34 km across the Baixada Santista, Alto Tietê, and Vale do Ribeira. Installation of toll gantries begins.
- 2026–2027 – First delivery of urban frontage roads in Bertioga, Praia Grande, Mongaguá, Itanhaém, and Peruíbe; pedestrian overpass upgrades; bike lanes; and improved bus bays along SP-055.
- 2027 – Construction of grade-separated interchanges (“diamonds”) for safer crossings along SP-055.
- 2028–2029 – Construction of underpasses for pedestrians and vehicles; widening of bridges and viaducts; construction of a new bridge over the Guacá River (SP-098).
- 2030 – On the Mogi–Bertioga mountain section (SP-098), works include additional lanes, runaway truck ramps, and pull-off bays.
- 2027–2032 – Staged duplication of the northern and southern sections of SP-055 (Padre Manoel da Nóbrega).

Only after these frontage roads are completed will this section of the Padre Manoel da Nóbrega be tolled,” explains Rafael Benini, Secretary for Partnerships and Investments.
- Cycling: Bike lane.
- Access improvements: SPA-344/055 roundabout/interchange and related works.
- Timeline: Urban works until 2027/2029; staged duplication through 2032.
Siga Fácil
Siga Fácil is the São Paulo state government’s system that replaces toll plazas with intelligent electronic gantries that identify vehicles by license plate or tag, making the process faster, fairer, and more efficient. Supervised by Artesp, it eliminates queues and reduces accidents. The system will be gradually implemented in the latest concession projects — such as Novo Litoral Paulista, Nova Raposo, and Rota Sorocabana — as well as in existing contracts. The website sigafacil.sp.gov.br provides gantry maps, payment methods, and customer service channels.
