Concessionaria Ecovias do Cerrado S.A. (Brazil)

Concessionaria Ecovias Do Cerrado S.A. is a company located in Uberlandia, Brazil. It manages a total of 437 kilometers of the federal highways BR-364/365. This includes 192.7 kilometers of BR-364 and 244.3 kilometers of BR-365. The BR-365 connects Uberlandia, the main city in the Triangulo Mineiro region, to the border with Goias, where it connects with BR-364. The section of BR-364 under concession runs from the city of Jatai, Goias, to the junction with BR-365 near the border of the two states. The company plays a crucial role in the transportation of grains from the Midwest to the port of Santos. It also contributes to the supply of the southern regions of Goias and Minas Gerais with general cargo, industrial products, construction materials, and food. Over the course of the 30-year concession, the company plans to invest approximately R$ 2.1 billion, with R$ 754 million allocated for the first five years of the contract. The concession agreement includes various improvement projects, such as 44 kilometers of road duplication between the junctions of BR-153 and BR-154, 160 kilometers of additional lanes, 88 kilometers of shoulders, and 20 kilometers of marginal roads. Starting from October 2020, users of the BR-364/365 highways will have access to support services on the road, including 24-hour emergency assistance with ambulances and tow trucks every day of the week. The management of these resources will be carried out by a Control Center (CCO) that will coordinate the teams' operations on the road.
