Among the main works planned after the concession are 402 kilometers of duplication, 228 kilometers of additional lanes, 131 kilometers of side roads, 130 returns, 125 route corrections, 40 footbridges, at least two stopping and rest points for road transport professionals, beyond the outline of the Minas Gerais municipality of Manhuaçu.
The bidding auction is expected to take place in the last quarter of 2021.
