By the end of 2018, the federal government should launch bids for the works of Ferrovias Norte-Sul and Ferrogrão. The statement is from the Minister of Transport, Valter Casimiro.
“We are working to publish the edicts later this year. For the second half of the year, the North-South bidding process should be ready, as should Ferrograo. With the new concessions, we believe that we will have an investment of about R $ 25 billion in the railroad in 30 years, “Casimiro told National Confederation of Transport (CNT).
The minister affirms that the extension of existing concession contracts is also a priority, and the idea is to have them all renewed in 2018. “The analyzes are already being made by ANTT (National Agency for Land Transport) and then we will wait for the procedure of TCU (Court of Audit of the Union) “, he emphasizes.
