Vinci Highways has finalised the acquisition of its first highway concession in Brazil.

The firm has now acquired 55% of Entrevias, which holds the concessions for two toll highway sections in São Paulo State until 2047.

The Vinci Concessions subsidiary bought the 55% stake in Entrevias from Patria, a Brazilian fund.

These two highway sections span a total of 570km across São Paulo state, linking it to Minas Geiras State to the north and Paraná State to the south.

Together, the three states account for over 40% of Brazil's GDP.

In Q1 2023, Entrevias' network recorded 8.3 million transactions, 10% more than in Q1 2022 and 8% more than in Q1 2019.

The works to increase capacity on the southern section, which involve widening 210km from one-lane dual carriageway to two-lane dual carriageway, are expected to be completed by the end of 2025 and support traffic growth.

Vinci Concessions plans to grow its operation in Latin America's largest economy.

And with more and more decision-makers expressing renewed interest in tolling, it’s that very diversity that ma

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
