The Port Route of Salvador: mobility in the capital city of the State of Bahia after road interventions

This paper analyzes the contributions of the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC – Growth Acceleration Program) to the construction of the Port Route (Cabula neighborhood – city of Salvador, Northeastern Brazil). How is this work able to provide greater mobility? We used exploratory and bibliographic research between 2007 (the beginning of the PAC) and 2010 (the end of the first stage of the PAC). We conclude that the work has not been completed. If completed, it will provide greater interconnection among the Port of Salvador, the Aratu Naval Base and the Aratu Industrial Center, and also between the Northeast and the South and Southeast of the country. Despite being a work located in a neighborhood, it is an enterprise that interferes in the intra and intercity transport networks both in the regional and national levels in Brazil.
