The government of Javier Milei has moved forward with the expansion of the Federal Concessions Network and enabled the incorporation of 27 segments of national roads into the private management scheme. This measure will allow for new tenders to be called to transfer the operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of road corridors to the private sector, with financing through toll collection.
The decision was formalized through Decree 1358/2026, published in the Official Gazette and signed by President Javier Milei and Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo. The regulation incorporates roads that are currently under state administration into the concession regime established by Law 17.520.
The central objective of the program is to move towards a model in which private companies assume the responsibility of maintaining and improving road infrastructure, reducing dependence on public financing and limiting the use of state resources.
What are the 27 national roads that can be concessioned
The expansion includes corridors distributed across different regions of the country. Among them are strategic routes for cargo transport, interprovincial circulation, and the connection of major production centers.
