This paper tries to evaluate regional development under the impact of Belem-Brasilia Road. According to a tipology of spatial development based on the analyses of regional devepment profile, the area was classified as a resource frontier under slow growth. The road's major positive effect was in the urbanization process, favoring regional centers located at both ends of the artery. Possibilities of higher family incomes are offered only to the poor rural migrants from the northeast region.
