The $500 million, 9,000-mile highway network will provide the first land link between Brazil's Atlantic seaboard ports of Belem and Recife and the Bolivian and Peruvian borders-and perhaps eventually the Pacific. Other roads will reach out to Surinam, French Guiana, Colombia and Venezuela to the north, and to Brazil's industrialized states in the south...
