The Government of Minas Gerais has launched a second public consultation for the Rodoanel Metropolitano concession in Brazil.

Under the concession, 3000 km of highway network will be developed in the state with a concession period of 30 years. The project is divided into seven lots- Triângulo Mineiro, Sul de Minas, Varginha-Furnas, São João Del Rei, Itapecerica-Lagoa da Prata, Arcos-Patos de Minas, and Ouro Preto-Brumadinho Lot. The estimated investment value of the project is BRL5 billion (US$898 million), out of which BRL3.07 billion (US$551 million) will be contributed by the state government. The auction for the Rodoanel Metropolitano concession is scheduled for March 2022.

The authority has completed complementary traffic studies, topographic studies and surveys, preparation of the basic project for the alternatives, as well as social and environmental analyses. The alignment of the route has been adapted according to the findings of studies. The location of the planned tunnel has been moved to Serra do Rola Moça instead of Serra da Calçada, in order to cause less environmental impact and make it 1 km shorter.
