A 594 km section of the Rio de Janeiro-Brasilia highway, Via Cristais connects the cities of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, and Cristalina, in the state of Goias. A strategic highway for the transport of mining, industrial and agricultural production to the ports of the South coast, it achieved 17.5 million transactions in 2023, with 40% heavy vehicles.

It reinforces the footprint of VINCI Concessions in the Brazilian transport infrastructure, building on the successful development of VINCI Airports as the operator of 8 airports in the States of Bahia and Amazonas. Construction works will be carried out under traffic and completed by 2031.
