São Paulo mayor has 19 major projects due by end of 2028
São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes has 19 major public works projects scheduled for completion between October 2026 and December 2028.
Their combined cost is R$3.79 billion.
The largest is the BRT Aricanduva bus corridor, budgeted at R$647 million and due in July 2028.
Another major project, a road connection on Avenida Sena Madureira, is scheduled for December 2028.
The city’s full priority list includes 22 projects costing about R$6.7 billion, but two are due after Nunes’s term ends: road works on Estrada do M’Boi Mirim in 2029 and an avenue extension in 2030.
The timing matters because the BRT Aricanduva project is due three months before the first round of São Paulo’s 2028 municipal election.
The projects are scheduled to be completed on the dates listed, while Nunes is also seeking to support a successor in that election.
