BR-040 is a federal highway of Brazil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BR-40 ) 〕 The road connects Brasilia to Rio de Janeiro. ==BR-040 Highway, Brazil== The starting point of the highway is in Brasília at the junction with the BR-450 (Via EPIA) and BR-251 (Via EPCT). The road ends at Praça Mauá at the Port of Rio de Janeiro. The BR-040 traverses Distrito Federal and the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. It is the main road link between these parts of the country. In September 2009, the stretch of highway between Brasília (DF) and Petrópolis (RJ) was named President Juscelino Kubitschek Highway. The BR-040 serves the following town and cities: * Brasília (DF) * Valparaíso de Goiás (GO) * Luziânia (GO) * Cristalina (GO) * Paracatu (MG) * João Pinheiro (MG) * Três Marias (MG) * Felixlândia (MG) * Paraopeba (MG) * Caetanópolis (MG) * Sete Lagoas (MG) * Ribeirão das Neves (MG) * Contagem (MG) * Belo Horizonte (MG) * Congonhas (MG) * Conselheiro Lafaiete (MG) * Cristiano Otoni (MG) * Carandaí (MG) * Ressaquinha (MG) * Alfredo Vasconcelos (MG) * Barbacena (MG) * Santos Dumont (MG) * Ewbank da Câmara (MG) * Juiz de Fora (MG) * Matias Barbosa (MG) * Simão Pereira (MG) * Comendador Levy Gasparian (RJ) * Três Rios (RJ) * Areal (RJ) * Petrópolis (RJ) * Duque de Caxias (RJ) * Rio de Janeiro (RJ) Today's BR-040 came into being in 1973 by means of the National Transportation Plan. The initial draft saw the highway planned from Brasília to São João da Barra, (RJ). With the revision, the stretch between Belo Horizonte and São João da Barra became part of the BR-356 as part of the Rio stretch of the BR-040. This was originally part of the BR-135. Until 1964, the stretch between Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte was called the BR-3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=História BR040 )〕 Two stretches of the BR-040 are important to the history of Brazilian roads. The stretch between Petrópolis and Juiz de Fora included the Estrada União e Indústria, the first Brazilian highway, inaugurated on July 23, 1861 by Dom Pedro II. This stretch was replaced by the actual Rio de Janeiro-Juiz de Fora road in 1980. The stretch of the BR-040 situated between Petrópolis (RJ) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ) was named the Washington Luiz highway〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=fundec )〕 in honour of the ex-president of the republic who had it built during his 1926-1930 term. In 1931, the asphalt concrete road was the first of its kind in the country. This stretch of the BR-040 between Juiz de Fora and Rio de Janeiro has been managed by the Companhia de Concessão Rodoviária Juiz de Fora-Rio de Janeiro (Concer) since 1996. A significant urban stretch of the BR-040 in Rio de Janeiro is made up of the Avenida Brasil along with the BR-101 and Avenida Rodrigues Alves. After crossing the Rio Meriti and passing by Duque de Caxias, the highway ends at Praça Mauá. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BR-040」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
