Abstract: The present study´s objective is to assess the impacts of the Sistema Viário Oeste (SVO) on the spatial distribution of activity. SVO is an important element for regional integration, as it links Salvador (Bahia) to main highways of the State of Bahia (BR-101 and BR-116). The methodology employed in the research integrates an interregional computable general equilibrium model developed especially for impact analysis in the State of Bahia to the georeferenced road network of the Plano Nacional de Logística e Transportes. Two simulations are undertaken considering hypotheses associated with short and long term environment. Impacts on activity are strongly heterogeneous and results show that: (i) changes in economic activity are significantly more intense in the State of Bahia when compared to other Brazilian regions, a result that is amplified in the long term and (ii) in the state of Bahia, the South, Center-South regions and the Salvador Metropolitan Region are the regions that most benefit from SVO. These gains occur at the expense of regions located in the north and northeast of the state, which present less significant increases or even decreases in economic activity.
