The new tariff scheme will be applied in the toll stations of sections I to X of the national road corridors; the north and west accesses to the city of Buenos Aires; and Road Corridor No. 18.
The cost of the tolls in the national road corridors will register an increase of 50% from Friday and 40% from August, after the Ministry of Public Works of the Nation approved the new values through National Highway, this portfolio reported today.
The decision to approve the restructuring of the tariff scheme that will be applied in the toll stations of sections I to X of the national road corridors; the north and west accesses to the city of Buenos Aires; and Road Corridor No. 18, was taken after carrying out a citizen consultation, which had the objective of informing and receiving opinions on the project to adapt the tariff charts of the concessioned national route network.
The tariff update proposed by the concessionary companies will be divided into two stages: 50% will be applied as of May, while the remaining 40% will take effect as of August.
The new rates must be rounded up to multiples of $50, and the first updates of the rate scheme will take place starting this Friday, May 12.
After National Highway carried out the corresponding technical evaluation, the approval of the new scheme responds to the fact that the last tariff update had been carried out in February 2022, for which it sought to address the price variation registered in certain main components of the items of operation, conservation and maintenance and support services, in order to guarantee the level of provision of services to users.
The new rate charts were approved after holding a citizen consultation that took place online between April 5 and May 2, inclusive, in which information was given and opinions and concerns of the participants were received.
“The authorization of this institutional space is essential so that the general public can learn about the proposal and express their opinion, thus promoting effective participation in the process of elaboration of administrative regulations,” highlighted the Public Works portfolio.
