Trans-Amazonian Highway

Japanese: トランス・アマゾン・ハイウェー(英語表記)Trans‐Amazonian Highway
Trans-Amazonian Highway
A road that runs west from Brazil's Atlantic coast through the great Amazonian forest. It is also called the Trans-Amazonian Highway. It is 5,419 km long. It is connected to the road network in Peru and can reach the Pacific coast. The main objective of the government's National Integration Plan (1970) was to develop agriculture, livestock, and mining (iron, gold, tin, copper, etc.) through the settlement of the vast undeveloped Amazonia, and the construction of this road was part of that plan. From João Pessoa and Recife on the Atlantic coast, National Highways 230 and 232 head west, join the two at Picos, and then continue on National Highway 230 to Estreito.
