EPR Wins Régis Bittencourt Concession With 22.53% Toll Cut

Overview

• EPR won the simplified auction on July 23, 2026 with a 22.53% discount on the basic toll, beating Motiva (12.10%) and incumbent Arteris (0.01%).
• Under the 15‑year contract through 2041, EPR must deliver roughly R$7.2 billion in works and accept about R$4.1 billion in operating costs over the term.
• The buyer will pay a fixed outorga of R$120 million and assume the concession’s net market debt of about R$1.7 billion as set in the settlement between Arteris, the government and the TCU.
• The investment program includes nearly 69 km of additional lanes, 32 km of marginal roads, two tunnels, 18 pedestrian overpasses, expanded lighting and other repairs aimed at reducing accidents and congestion.
• ANTT will begin contract signing and an operational transition process next, and the agency said the federal program will hold at least four more road auctions before the end of 2026.
