Rio-Valadares System
With a length of 726.9 kilometers, the connection between the cities of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Governador Valadares (MG) is strategic due to the volume of traffic, along with two other highways, BR-040/MG/RJ and BR- 116/RJ/SP, to Dutra. In addition, it is the only route available, starting from the state capital, to bypass the Guanabara Bay, allowing access to the Lagos region, to the north of the state, and to the North and Northeast regions of the country.
