ACCIONA and its partners, ACS and Meridiam, have been awarded the “P3 Deal of the Year” prize for the SR400 highway in Atlanta.

This award, granted by the financial publication The Bond Buyer, recognizes the innovative nature of the project, as well as its financial structure and the direct benefit this new infrastructure will bring to the community.

José Manuel Castillo, financial analyst for ACCIONA’s Concessions business in the United States, was responsible for accepting this award on behalf of the company during the ceremony held in New York.

One of the largest highway projects in the United States

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) awarded the consortium formed by ACCIONA, ACS and Meridiam the construction and operation (for 50 years) of the SR400 express lanes highway in Atlanta, Georgia. This is one of the largest highway projects in the United States.

With an approximate investment of $10.8 billion (€9.8 billion), the project includes the construction of two managed lanes in each direction over approximately 25 kilometers, as well as an additional managed lane in some additional segments of the project.
