Ministry of Infrastructure in Brazil has requested the state-owned Planning and Logistics Company - Empresa de Planejamento e Logística S.A. (EPL) to carry out studies for the concessions of five highways. The stretches add up to more than four thousand kilometers of federal highways and cross eight states. 

Technical, economic, and environmental feasibility studies will be included in the scope pf EPL project portfolio. The work of the state-owned company also involves carrying out traffic, demand, operation, engineering, economic-financial modeling, and legal studies. The work will serve as a basis for the drafts of notices and contracts for the concession of these assets.
