Overview
- The decree authorizing the move was published in the Boletín Oficial on Friday, November 13, 2026, formally adding 27 tramos of national routes across 16 provinces to the Red Federal de Concesiones.
- The Ministry of Economy, through the Secretaría de Transporte, must prepare tender documents, launch national and international bids and sign concession contracts, with a maximum of 12 months to call the processes.
- Dirección Nacional de Vialidad (DNV) will act as the contracting authority for oversight and must produce technical reports that define which specific sectors of each route will be included in future concessions.
- Awarded companies will be able to build, operate, repair, expand and maintain the corridors, collect tolls and run complementary commercial activities to generate revenue beyond tolls, which could raise travel costs for users.
- The measure extends a broader privatization drive that already handed over more than 9,000 km in earlier stages and will be watched for how tariffs, contract terms and selected sectors affect public budgets, freight costs and provincial road control.
