The concessionaire Via Raposo, in partnership with the Government of the State of São Paulo and under the supervision of the state transport regulator (Artesp), has taken over the operation, management and planned modernization of the approximately 285 km Paranapanema highway lot, covering multiple state roads—including SP-270, SP-189 and SP-278—between Itapetininga and Ourinhos in São Paulo, Brazil. 

The concessionaire will carry out the duplication of roughly 150 km of roadway and implement a range of upgrades, including pedestrian overpasses, bus shelters, shoulders, frontage roads, and new access connections. With an investment of BR$ 5.8 billion (US$1.12 billion), the project aims to modernize the highway network and improve safety standards across the state roads. Additional improvements include LED lighting in urban stretches, CCTV monitoring, variable message panels, full corridor connectivity, weigh stations, and on-site ambulance services. The operation will provide round-the-clock monitoring, traffic patrols, towing and emergency response, all tied to performance indicators focused on service quality. The concession contract is overseen by the São Paulo State Transport Agency (Artesp). The regional impact directly benefits the municipalities of Angatuba, Bernardino de Campos, Buri, Campina do Monte Alegre, Canitar, Chavantes, Ipaussu, Itaí, Itapetininga, Ourinhos, Paranapanema, Piraju, and Tejupá. The full duplication of the Raposo Tavares corridor transforms the highway into a strategic alternative to Castello Branco (SP-280), connecting the countryside of São Paulo and the Central-West region to the Port of Santos, boosting agribusiness, regional industry, and new developments that will benefit from improved and safer road infrastructure.

The Paranapanema Lot complements the Nova Raposo and Rota Sorocabana initiatives, creating a fully duplicated and modernized highway corridor that enhances traffic flow and helps ease logistical bottlenecks across the State. Electronic tolling will be implemented through the Siga Fácil system, which uses overhead gantries instead of traditional toll booths and identifies vehicles via license plates or electronic TAGs. This model streamlines traffic flow, increases operational efficiency, and ensures a fairer system, as motorists are charged according to the distance they actually travel. The gantries will only be installed and activated following approval by Artesp and after the required contractual upgrades have been completed and formally inspected by the regulatory agency. These steps are expected to be finalized by the end of the first half of 2027.
