The Government of Pará marked the month of April with the delivery of important structural works and social actions in all regions of the State. Among the highlights is one of the overpasses built by the State on the BR-316 Highway, at the intersection with Avenida Independência, in the municipality of Ananindeua, in the Metropolitan Region of Belém. A strategic work for the advancement of urban mobility.
In southeastern Pará, the paving of the Transcanadá Highway, which connects three municipalities to the PA-279 Highway, in the stretch between Canaã dos Carajás and Água Azul, reinforces road infrastructure and regional development.
With the commitment to invest in improvements that directly benefit the population, the state government accelerates the completion and delivery of works in various municipalities of Pará. In the first four months of 2025 alone, actions were carried out in the areas of housing, health, education, infrastructure, and urban mobility. Resources were allocated for the construction of schools, donation of books, delivery of health units, and support for citizenship.
Culture and identity - Firmino Santos, 58 years old, a resident of Bragança, northeastern Pará, celebrated the delivery of nearly a thousand books to the Quilomboteca of Caeté. “We have a governor who looks with respect at the quilombola people. We are keeping our identity alive for new generations, and knowledge is the greatest wealth we can have,” he declared.
In Belém, education also received a boost with the delivery of a new school unit, which will benefit 157 students, now with full-time education. In Marabá, in the southeastern region, students were awarded the “Bora Estudar” program check. In the 13 municipalities linked to the Regional Education Directorate (DRE) of Marabá, 661 students have already received the bonus, totaling over R$ 660 million invested in valuing the education of young people.
