BR-222 (Brazil highway)
Highway in Brazil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BR-222 is a Brazilian federal highway that connects the cities of Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, to Marabá, Pará. It has a total length of 1,819.8 km.[1]
It passes through large urban centers, such as Fortaleza (where a 14 km section to the Fortaleza ring road has been converted into a dual carriageway), connecting economically rich regions, such as the southeast of the state of Pará with the rest of Brazil. Under its current route, after the federalization of the Estrada do Rio Preto in the municipality of Marabá, it will integrate the mining regions into the national territory. The highway is being upgraded into a dual carriageway specifically by the federal government through the DNIT, between Caucaia and Porto do Pecém in Ceará. [2]
