BR-471

BR-471

[edit]

BR-471 is a Brazilian federal highway located in the extreme south of the country. It begins in Soledade, passes through the city of Pelotas [1], and ends in Chui [2], which is the southernmost brazilian city. Between the city of Canguçu [3] and the Quinta district of Rio Grande city, it shares its path alongside with the BR-392 highway [4] through 127 km (79 mi). It presents quite different road conditions, from completely precarious to excellent conservation state. The sections comprised between Santa Cruz do Sul [5] and Pântano Grande [6] and between Canguçu [7] and Quinta present excellent pavement quality, since these sections are under private administration. Even though the range comprised between Quinta and Chui is under DNIT administration [8](brazilian department of transportation ifra-structure[9]), the pavement contiditon in this stretch is also satisfactory.

Cities encompassed along its way:

  • Barros Casal
  • Boqueirão do Leão
  • Sinimbu
  • Santa Cruz do Sul
  • Rio Pardo
  • Pántano Grande
  • Encruzilhada do Sul
  • Canguçu
  • Morro Redondo
  • Pelotas
  • Rio Grande
  • Santa Vitória do Palmar
  • Chuí

Total road legth is 631,5 km (392,5 miles)
