The Road Engineering area is recognized as an economically strategic sector, but with great potential for triggering environmental impacts in the conduct of its main activities and support. Currently, the demand for new infrastructures and the expansion of existing ones in the face of the growing need for transportation is increasing. However, the inclusion of road infrastructure in the environment causes diverse impacts in all its phases (planning, construction and operation), influencing in a positive or negative way in the places that are interconnected by it. The present work involves an analysis of the process of elaboration of the environmental studies of the Road of the Pineapple Highway, in the between the municipalities of Turiaçu / Porto Santo - MA, where these were identified, evaluated and classified considering the phase of implantation and operation. For this, a bibliographic survey and analysis of the data obtained Environmental Impact Study, in addition to the use of the checklist for the evaluation of environmental impacts. It was identified that the environment has suffered significant negative impacts, mainly on the physical and biotic medium.
