Definition
SP-463 is a state‑maintained transversal highway located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is part of the São Paulo state highway system and is administered by the Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem do Estado de São Paulo (DER‑SP).
Overview
The highway extends for approximately 192 kilometres (119 mi) and connects a series of municipalities in the north‑west region of the state. Its western terminus is at the junction with SP‑425 near Clementina, and it proceeds eastward through Araçatuba, Jales, and other towns before reaching its eastern terminus at SP‑543. The route serves as an important regional corridor for passenger travel and freight transport, linking agricultural and industrial centers within the interior of São Paulo.
Etymology / Origin
The designation “SP‑463” follows the numbering convention used for São Paulo state highways, where the prefix “SP” identifies the jurisdiction (the state of São Paulo) and the numeric component is assigned sequentially within the state network. The highway is also known by several honorary names along its length:
- Rodovia Dep. Jorge Maluly Netto – honoring the former state deputy.
- Rodovia Dr. Elyeser Montenegro Magalhães – honoring the physician and public servant.
- Rodovia Antônio Alduino – honoring a local figure.
These names are applied to specific segments of the route and are reflected in official signage and documentation.
