Argentina Prepares Highway Tender Amid Privatization Criticism

The Argentine government is moving forward with plans to tender new highway construction projects, a move seen as an attempt to quell criticism surrounding its privatization policies. This initiative comes after the recent awarding of contracts for the maintenance of 9,000 kilometers of roads.

The upcoming tender focuses on new construction, with projects slated for most provinces across the country. This strategy appears designed to address public concerns and potentially counter negative sentiment regarding the privatization of infrastructure.

Details on the specific routes and scope of the new highway projects are expected as the government finalizes its tender process. The administration aims to balance infrastructure development with public perception, particularly in light of ongoing debates about privatization.
