Liberal Amazon #21 - Highways in the North in precarious condition
Description
The North region, which concentrates seven of the nine states constituting the Amazon, has the worst road network in the country. Almost 80% of its roads are in regular, bad or extremely bad condition, according to the 2021 Road Survey, promoted by National Transport Confederation (CNT). This percentage alerts to a regional reality that brings several problems to the Amazonian development.
According to the CNT survey, Maranhão and Mato Grosso, states from other regions which integrate the Brazilian Amazon also share the need for urgent investments.
Highways are the first theme of the Liberal Amazon series on logistics challenges for transportation in the region, presenting, in three editions, the challenges and potentials faced by each modal.
