Document Details:

The BA-093 system located in the state of Bahia, in Northeast Brazil, comprises a series of roads stretching over 126 kilometers. The system was in a severe state of disrepair, as it had never been properly maintained or rehabilitated since it was built since its development in the 1950s. With the combined assistance of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and IFC under the aegis of the Private Sector Participation Program (PSP Brazil), the Government of Bahia awarded a 25 year  concession contract to The Bahia Norte consortium, composed of Invepar (a subsidiary of OAS Construtora) and Odebrecht.
