Campinas bus corridor studies to resume next year

Bnamericas
Remaining studies into a 122mn-real (US$42mn) bus corridor project for the Brazilian city of Campinas will resume next year, a project official from São Paulo state's urban transport metropolitan company EMTU told BNamericas. The studies, which were not able to be put out to tender this year due to lack of state government funds, include the project's EIS and adjustments to the corridor's route, said the official. Once these studies near completion, the drafting of the corridor's basic and executive projects will be put out to tender, said the official, adding that the works tenders could be launched end-2005. Regarding talks with the World Bank over possible financing, the official said a preliminary project report was submitted to the bank in July, but that required details - such as those from the remaining studies - are holding up advancement. The corridor, known as Corredor Metropolitano Noroeste, would stretch 37km, starting in Campinas and running through Americana, Nova Odessa, Hortolandia and Sumare. Of the 122mn reais, 93mn reais would go to civil works and the remainder to purchase buses. Campinas has some 2.3 million residents.
