Transamazônica
cost 12 billion dollars!!! The largest public work of the
history of the Amazonian is not the hydroelectric of Tucuruí,
but Transamazônica. At least in the federal deputy's Delfim
Netto accounting. In interview to the magazine Istoé Dinheiro,
he affirms that the highway cost nothing less than 12 billion dollars,
or approximately 35 billion of real (almost three times the budget
of Beautiful Monte's plant). The calculation considers an extension
of five thousand built kilometers, although the former-minister admits
that the work " resulted in an enormous failure and it was never
ready ".
The decision of building the highway, tells Delfim, it " happened in an airplane trip. I and president Médici were flying of Manaus for Recife. The that height there was a brutal drought in the Northeast. Médici saw the top forest, it was turned for me and he/she said: ' we Have to do some thing. I want to open a highway to alleviate the pressures sociais' " (underlined by the magazine). The current deputy federal person from São Paulo says that acted immediately: " Without consulting nobody, not even the governors of the area, it cut half of the subsidies given to Sudene and Sudam ", he writes the author of the interview (to main source of resources it was a cut of 30% in the resources of the fiscal incentives for the Amazonian and the Northeast, something equivalent, today, the more than billion real a year). Delfim increases that in the definition of the work prevailed the will of the generals again on the technical subject. And it recognizes that " the grandiose project was initiate without studies on your impact in the area were accomplished ". Literally a shot in the darkness (and, perhaps, in the foot). Words of the then almighty minister: " Nobody knew the consequences of the occupation. The formula was shown inconvenience absolutely. Nobody investigated scientifically what she could do there ". But, how to observe the interviewer, Delfim today lava the hands: " I accomplished my obligation, I arranged the money ". Or be: Delfim removed of your magic top-hat nothing less than US$ 12 billion. Such serious affirmatives deserved three paragraphs in a subtitle of the matter, of eight pages, that it went to the layer of the magazine. I suggest to the Federal public prosecution service to establish an administrative inquiry and immediately to summon the parliamentarian for him to clear like Transamazônica could cost US$ 12 billion. In the beginning of the decade of 70 one of my slower investigations was dedicated at the cost of the highway, presented in process by the propaganda of the military regime as the only work in the Earth comparable to the conquest of the Moon, the more notable enterprise of the human mill on that moment. Of the space, the astronauts would observe only two accomplishments terráqueas:
Transamazônica and the wall of China. Typical reasoning of those years of lead. After months, I arrived to a very select number. I wrote the text and I introduced to the owner of THE State of S. Paulo, Júlio Mesquita Neto, that vineyard motivating me to treat of the subject. " Doctor Júlio " transformed the text in main editorial of the newspaper the following day.
I don't have conditions, at this time, of updating those calculations, not only for the work in itself that the task would demand as for not having the data of the calculation memory by hand. I hope to make that updating some day. But certainly the updated sum would give incomparavelmente below the value revealed by Delfim Neto to the magazine from São Paulo.

I
cost: few Saint the places where it is possible to see the
asphalt, actually the only place where the highway has ideal conditions
of traffic it is in the state of Paraíba, the space that ties
Campina Grande to João Pessoa it is the dream of any truck
driver that trafega for BR230.
Without
doubts, the highway Transamazônica is the worst highway
of our country, a lot of times she links anything to place any, the
own residents that persist in your margins they call Trans-bitterness,
Trans-mud, Upset...
Spaces
of the almost impossible highway exist of traveling, in several points
the bridges literally are alone the potsherds, even of bicycle has
to be very careful, in the pictures to the side the dream of the transamazônica,
duplicated, asphalted and well signaled, only 150 Km of the 5.000
is in these conditions.
