Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / CV
Portuguese term or phrase: Vias de Comunicação
Frase completa: "Relação das principais obras de Terraplenagem e Vias de Comunicação cuja direcção esteve a cargo do Signatário".
Procuro uma expressão mais abrangente do que simplesmente "roads". Pensei em "traffic routes". Pode-se usar se estivermos a falar, por exemplo, em estradas e caminhos-de-ferro?
Obrigada desde já pela vossa ajuda.
