Brazil's national ground transport agency Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres (ANTT) has received eight bids for its US$1.34 billion BR-050 federal highway concession between the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais.
The thirty-year concession involves the construction of the BR-050 highway, including restoration, maintenance, road widening and other improvements to provide a 437 kilometre highway along the Minas Gerais and São Paulo border, with six toll booths.
No bids were received for the BR-262 concession, which will stretch 375 kilometres between Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo states and includes restoration, maintenance, road widening and other improvements, as well as five toll booths.
Transport minister César Borges said he was pleased with the interest in BR-050 and confirmed that the federal government is currently analysing the situation on the BR-262 concession.
The projects fall under the country's US$18.6 billion federal highway concession plan. The next tender, for BR-101 in the north-eastern state of Bahia, is scheduled for 23 October.
