Project Summary

This project was qualified at the 1st PPI Board Meeting, by means of Resolution No. 2, of 9/13/2016, converted into Decree No. 8,916, of 11/25/2016.

The West-East Integration Railway, FIOL (EF-334), is 1,527 kilometers long between Ilhéus/BA and Figueirópolis/TO. The project is divided into three sections:

a. Section I: Ilhéus/BA - Caetité/BA, with an extension of 537 km, of which more than 73.6% of physical execution of the works are completed. This is the section that was qualified for sub-concession by the PPI Council.

b. Section II: Caetité/BA - Barreiras/BA, with an extension of 485 km, of which about 36% of the works are completed.

c. Section III: Barreiras/BA - Figueirópolis/TO, with an approximate extension of 505 km, in phase of studies and projects.

The total current investment predicted for the works of sections I and II of FIOL amounts to BRL 6.4 billion. FIOL is an important corridor to the transport of iron ore from the south of the state (Caetité and Tanhaçu) and grains from the west of Bahia.

There is also the possibility of future integration with the North-South Railway, meeting the objective of integrating railway networks and improving the country's logistical conditions.

The cargo will be exported through the terminals of the Porto Sul Port Complex, located in the region of Aritágua, municipality of Ilhéus, with a retro area of 1,224 ha, a maritime access bridge and a pier with a breakwater 3,500 meters from the coast.

The main purpose of the project is to allow the production of iron ore from the Caetité region to be exported via the South Port. The transportation of agricultural bulk, liquid bulk and general cargo is also planned.

The works on the project, currently under the responsibility of VALEC, show a physical increase of more than 73.6%. It is estimated that R $ 3.3 billion will be needed to complete the remaining works and other investments necessary for the operation of Section I;

Several works of art are concluded or in execution, including bridges, viaducts and the Jequié tunnel, highlighting the bridge over the São Francisco River, in Section II, with 2.9 km in length, the longest railroad bridge in Latin America.
