VINCI Highways designs, finances, builds, operates and maintains a network covering almost 3,750 km of motorways, urban roads, bridges, tunnels and digital toll services in 13 countries. The division draws on its know-how as a global mobility operator to apply the highest standards of operational performance, safety and service quality.
In 2025, VINCI Highways moved forward with its strategy to develop and strengthen its portfolio of road concessions. Revenue rose nearly 35% in actual terms and 11.4% on a like-for-like basis to €543 million. At the end of 2025, traffic (in number of kilometres travelled) was up 5.5%. The successful integration of the Northwest Parkway in the United States and Via Cristais in Brazil, along with completion of works on Vía Sumapaz in Colombia and the Patras–Pyrgos motorway section in Greece confirmed VINCI Highways’ capacity to expand its network and manage large-scale investment programmes. Operational performance was boosted by innovation and the rollout of cross-cutting solutions. Meanwhile, the acceleration of environmental initiatives demonstrated the network’s capacity to leverage the experience of each concession to benefit the others.
In March 2025, VINCI Highways took over operation of the Belo Horizonte–Cristalina highway (Via Cristais), under a 30-year concession contract awarded by Brazil’s national land transport agency in September 2024. The 594 km Via Cristais links Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais, to Cristalina, in the state of Goiás, in the direction of the federal capital Brasília. Given its role as a strategic highway for the transportation of mining, industrial and agricultural production towards the ports of the country’s southern coast, heavy vehicles account for 40% of traffic. VINCI Highways recruited and trained 400 employees and successfully restored assistance services, toll plazas and toll collection on a highway that had been left without an operator for several months. The Group has already delivered a pavement upgrading programme that has significantly improved driving conditions. Major duplication and extension works will commence shortly.
