• Way Concessões (Way + Kinea) secured the 30-year concession at B3 in São Paulo, topping Vinci Highways (20.11%) and XP-led Rota do Cerrado (20.36%) after no changes in the viva-voz round.
• The corridor spans 530.6 km across BR-153 and BR-262 in Goiás and Minas Gerais, with R$5.3 billion in works and R$4.9 billion in operating costs planned over the contract term.
• Initial tolls were set at R$0.1083 for single carriageway and R$0.1408 for dual carriageway in the first year, with five plazas distributed between two in Goiás and three in Minas Gerais.
• Planned upgrades include more than 42 km of duplication, 4 km of contornos, 31.8 km of additional lanes, marginal roads, six pedestrian overpasses, 132 accesses, 146 bus stops and five wildlife crossings, with about 80,000 jobs expected.
• On the same day, ANTT invited Way Brasil and Kinea to assume the Rota Agro concession after the original winner was disqualified over guarantee and labor issues, expanding the duo’s regional footprint alongside their Rota do Zebu operation.
