Line 98:
The urban reform of Belém, investments in the expansion of mining in the ''Carajás,'' housing projects, and expansion of the power supply and rail network were among the major objectives of the regime at the time. Some of them were closer to achievement than others. The urban transformation of Belém, with the character of "briggning the capital to modern times," built new roads, governmental buildings, and several new neighborhoods and was by far the most successful project stipulated by the National Republican Regime. On the other hand, the by far most ambitious project is the Transamazonic Railway connecting Belém to the west of the country by the southern bounduaries of the rainforest. Started in 1962 and expected to be finished by 1970, the megaconstruction faced several issues, such as difficult terrain, floods, and outbreaks of malaria and dengue fever, which delayed its completion year after year (by 1980, only about 16% of the project was completed).
