BR-210 is a federal highway of Brazil. The 411.7 kilometre road, popularly known as Perimetral Norte ("north perimeter"), is primarily located in the Northern Brazilian state of Roraima, with other segments in Amazonas, Pará, and Amapá.[1][2]
The planning of the highway would consist of connecting Macapá, Amapá with the Brazil-Colombia border in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas. The highway would have 2,454.7 km (1,525.3 mi) in total. However, only small stretches of it have been implemented.[3] In 1976, the highway entered the Wajãpi Indigenous Territory in Amapá. The invasion was repelled by the indigenous leadership who expelled the intruders between the 1980s and the 1990s,[4] and therefore, the highway will probably never be completely built.[3]
