Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) has received interest from seven firms for the "Viaducto La Raza Indios Verdes Santa Clara" elevated highway public-private partnership (PPP) project.

The project was one of the three road concession tenders launched by the SCT in November 2015.

The following firms have shown interest in the project:

• Caabsa
• Constructora Garza Ponce
• Ideal
• Idinsa
• OHL Mexico
• Omega
• Pinfra

The winner of the tender process will be announced on 21st April 2016. The project will require investments of over US$325 million.

The preferred bidder would be responsible for the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance (DBFOM) of the new road during the 30 year concession period.

The road PPP project involves the construction of a new 9.5 km elevated highway that will connect the north part of Mexico city with the México-Pachuca road. The highway will have four lanes in each direction.

The Viaducto La Raza Indios Verdes Santa Clara project was already tendered in 2015 but the proposals did not reach the exigencies of the SCT. According to SCT the economical proposals submitted by an Omega Corporacion - led consortium and Mota-Engil México were considered insolvent.
