Overview

  • From January 7, Autovía Construcciones y Servicios takes over the Tramo Oriental (RN 12, 14, 135, A015 and 117) while the Conexión Alto Delta consortium assumes the Rosario–Victoria bridge corridor (RN 174).
  • The contracts cover operations, maintenance and works financed by toll collection under the first phase of the Red Federal de Concesiones.
  • Officials present the corridors as strategic links in the Mercosur route network connecting Brazil and Uruguay, including access near Gran Rosario ports.
  • In the Tramo Oriental tender, offers came in below the government’s reference caps, with Autovía’s winning bid reported under the indicated tariff level.
  • Mendoza opened bids for the 18.8 km Acceso Este upgrade with 11 offers, splitting the job into two sections for parallel works over 12 months, with tolling to be defined after adjudication and technical review.
