The Castello Branco (SP-280) and Raposo Tavares (SP-270) highways, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, received R$495.4 million in investment between March 2025 and October 31, 2026. The funds were spent on pavement, signage, lighting and monitoring. During that period, 105 kilometers of traffic lanes were restored.
On the Raposo Tavares highway, two cameras equipped with artificial intelligence detect violations such as using a cell phone while driving and not wearing a seat belt. The Highway Military Police, which is responsible for issuing citations, began doing so on August 3, 2026. In the monitored stretches, accidents fell by 22% in July and August compared with the same period in 2025.
The concession, coordinated by the São Paulo state government and overseen by Artesp, provides for R$8 billion in investment over 30 years. The contract includes 78 kilometers of additional lanes, 22 kilometers of road widening to create dual carriageways and 43 kilometers of frontage roads, as well as new access roads, pedestrian bridges and bus stops.
