Cintra selling Chilean tollroads and parking
Posted on Fri, 2008-11-21 13:41Cintra the Spain based concessionaire with major investments in north American tollroads has put its Chilean pikes and car parks up for sale, according to European reports.

This probably reflects a downgrading of the company's toll revenue prospects in the next few years
plus the general sell-off of stocks.

The fine print of the concession agreement now available on the TxDOT website shows that posted speed limits are seen as a key to attracting large volumes of traffic from free-competitor I-35.
Exhibit 7 (Ex7) titled Compensation Terms provides that the concessionaire will pay TxDOT three radically different amounts of money depending on the legally enacted speed limits for the new tollroad (TR).
