IMPACTOS AMBIENTAIS EM RODOVIA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NA BR-060

Abstract

This research was carried out on the Go-060 Highway from km 168 to 173, between Goiânia and Abadia de Goiás, and aimed to identify environmental liabilities. To this end, an on-site study was carried out to identify the environmental impacts caused by the construction of the highway, with the preparation of a geospatial study, photographic report, and the generation of a methodology for assessing the significance of the environmental impact with mitigation proposals. The results showed that although the highway is well structured, with dual carriageways and heavy traffic, there are significant liabilities in relation to the lack of signage, maintenance of drainage and safety devices, and also the presence of waste in the right-of-way that generate impacts such as traffic accidents, accumulation of water on the road, and proliferation of vectors. It is also worth noting that detailed measures were presented to solve the identified liabilities.
