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.

本研究分析了增长加速计划（Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento，简称PAC）对巴西东北部萨尔瓦多市卡布拉社区港口通道建设的贡献，并探讨该项目将如何提升区域交通通行能力。研究选取2007年（增长加速计划启动之年）至2010年（增长加速计划第一阶段收官之年）的相关资料，采用探索性研究与文献研究相结合的方法。研究结论显示，该港口通道项目尚未完工。若项目顺利完工，将有效强化萨尔瓦多港、阿拉图海军基地与阿拉图工业中心之间的互联互通，同时打通巴西东北部与南部、东南部地区的跨区域交通链路。尽管该项目落地于单一社区，但其作为大型基础设施工程，将对巴西区域及全国层面的城市内部与城际交通网络产生显著影响。
