Abstract
The need for restoration of Brazilian highways make up a strong proposal for economic development in the country has supported currently considering the gradual reduction of economic waste in implementation of reconstruction activities, restoration and restructuring of roads and / or highways, and the reducing environmental impacts in the vicinity of these projects, especially the areas of environmental/ecological relevance. In this perspective, the restructuring of the BR-319 highway from Manaus - Amazonas state - to Porto Velho, in Rondonia, from technical and environmental aspects, a set of actions were structured and entered as key variables in the reconstruction process road network of the country, established by law no.10.233 (05.06.2001), which states in its general principles that transport infrastructure management must reconcile transport with environmental preservation. In this context, the use of mechanisms and practices associated with the theme environment and have the ability to gradually reduce potential environmental impacts from the highway restoration activities are part of a sustainable development project of the Brazilian state, assuming the use of methods and validated techniques in environmental engineering and considering the process of mitigating environmental impacts. So, to discuss the restructuring of the BR-319 highway, which calls for a paradigm doubtful about the road network to be installed in the Amazon region, especially given the prospect of environmental impacts, we emphasize the challenge for the implementation of technical environmentally sustainable, in order to reduce environmental Criticality inherent in the restructuring of this development process.

Highlights
The discussion on deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has been the subject of forums and conferences in recent decades, whose developments turned into actions to point absolute guidelines to reduce it, especially with the understanding that deforestation in the region is associated to environmental issues and provides environmental impacts technically worrying scales
In this sense, assuming that the Transport and Environment regarding particular characteristics of the generated impacts, especially in the case of the Amazon region, the search for identifying the BR-319 highway promoted in its reconstruction process, including reducing local deforestation with the use of avoided deforestation mechanism, especially through the implemented environmental programs, is admit that this mechanism has technical functionality, according to what was proposed by the State in the implementation of public policies in transport relation - environment
It should be emphasized that in the context of all deforestation in the Amazon, the search by precise indicators that are clearly responsible for the evolution or involution of deforestation or deforestation process in the Amazon region is not limited in this study, which proposes guidelines of its development
Summary
The discussion on deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has been the subject of forums and conferences in recent decades, whose developments turned into actions to point absolute guidelines to reduce it, especially with the understanding that deforestation in the region is associated to environmental issues and provides environmental impacts technically worrying scales.Understanding, unequivocally, that investment in road infrastructure actions directly and indirectly affect the socio-economic activities and especially environmental, both local and regional, it is important imperative of monitoring and control for the Amazon biome. The BR-319 highway brings in its recent history a set of technical and scientific questions that suggest mitigation practices, using methods and techniques validated in environmental engineering, aiming for process control and monitoring from practices and technologies environmentally sustainable In this sense, assuming that the Transport and Environment regarding particular characteristics of the generated impacts, especially in the case of the Amazon region, the search for identifying the BR-319 highway promoted in its reconstruction process, including reducing local deforestation with the use of avoided deforestation mechanism, especially through the implemented environmental programs, is admit that this mechanism has technical functionality, according to what was proposed by the State in the implementation of public policies in transport relation - environment
