Brazil's Bahia state authorities will launch tenders over the next three months to concession highways BR-242 and BR-324, Romeu Temporal, cabinet head at the state planning department, told BNamericas.
The first project will require an investment of at least 841mn reais (US$355mn) and consists of rehabilitating and expanding the BR-242 federal highway between highway BR-160 and district Castro Alves.
The highway, which will be able to handle double the number of vehicles upon project completion, connects Bahia to Minas Gerais state.
The second initiative consists of the rehabilitation of the BR-324 state beltway and the expansion of the BR-116 highway.
This project will require an estimated investment of at least 110mn reais.
The second initiative will be structured by the World Bank, which has agreed to model all state highway projects affecting the Salvador de Bahia metropolitan region, Temporal said.
The projects are part of an integrated plan designed to improve connectivity between Bahia and the rest of Brazil and Latin America.
