The Ministry of Transport has secured international financing for its two road projects tendered under private-public partnership scheme. The financing agreement will be sourced from the commitments of the United States of America (USA) and China for the Road Corridor C (route 7,33) and Road Corridor B (route 5) projects.
The US Investment agency, OPIC will be providing funds for the Road Corridor C project located in Mendoza. The project is won by the construction company Cartellone.
