Implementation of the Smooth Asphalt program in Barra da Tijuca - Rio City Hall The Smooth Asphalt program, run by the Municipal Department of Conservation, will revitalize more than 450 kilometers of roads throughout the city by 2024, prioritizing the major corridors in Rio de Janeiro, which have the highest traffic flow.
