The Paraná Integrated Highways concession project was qualified at the 9th meeting of the Investment Partnership Program Council through Resolution No. 52, of May 8, 2019, converted into Decree No. 9,972 of August 14, 2019. The technical feasibility studies were carried out by the Planning and Logistics Company – EPL, together with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure on January 19, 2021. Lot 2, with a length of 604 km, includes sections of the federal highways BR-153/277/369/PR and state highways PR-092/151/239/407/408/411/508/804/855. East of Curitiba, Lot 2 connects the capital to Morretes, Paranaguá, Pontal do Paraná and Matinhos, on the coast, via BR-277, PR-408, PR-407 and PR-508. To the west, sections of PR-151 and PR-239 connect the city of Ponta Grossa to the border of the states of Paraná and São Paulo, passing through Jaguariaíva. Sections of PR-092 and BR-153 connect Jaguariaíva to the border of the states of Paraná and São Paulo, passing through Santo Antônio da Platina and Jacarezinho. Finally, a section of BR-369, from the junction with BR-153 to the municipality of Cornélio Procópio. The project foresees investments of around R$ 8.5 billion, throughout the concession period, including the duplication of 385 km of highway, the implementation of 139 km of additional lanes, 72 km of marginal roads and 10.9 km of shoulders, in addition to the 3.8 km route correction. It is also planned to implement 118 intersections and overpasses, 13 U-turns, 55 walkways, 58 special works of art, 1 escape area, in addition to 102 km of cycle paths. In addition to significant investments, the project provides a 5% discount for those who use the automatic vehicle charging service known as “tag”, in addition to the Frequent User Discount (DUF), which results in a progressive reduction in the amount paid for toll over 30 days for those who use the same route daily. The contract incorporates regulatory improvements recently developed by ANTT, such as the improvement of the project's risk allocation, the mitigation of tariff revenue and exchange risk risks, in addition to the possibility of signing a Tripartite Agreement between the concessionaire, financiers and ANTT, with a view to make the project more attractive to financing agents. Improvements were also incorporated in the dispute resolution clauses and in the clauses relating to the early termination of the concession, providing greater security and predictability to the investor.
