Ahead of the peak summer travel season, Confederation Bridge has completed the full resurfacing of its 12.9-kilometre deck, marking the largest modernization programme undertaken on the bridge since it opened to traffic in 1997. Delivered in just eight weeks in synergy with VINCI Construction, the project illustrates VINCI Highways’ ability to combine long-term concession management with the Group’s construction expertise to maintain strategic infrastructure at the highest standards.

Connecting Prince Edward Island to mainland Canada across the Northumberland Strait, Confederation Bridge is one of Canada’s most important mobility links. As the only fixed link to the island, it supports daily mobility, freight transport, tourism flows and the economic continuity of the region. For VINCI Highways, long-term shareholder of Strait Crossing Bridge Limited alongside Strait Crossing Inc., this milestone reflects the value of a concession model focused on operational excellence, sustained investment and infrastructure performance over time.

A renewed surface designed for demanding maritime conditions

The resurfacing programme involved the installation of a high-performance asphalt solution specifically designed to withstand the bridge’s exposed maritime environment, including humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, temperature variations and exposure to de-icing salts. Beyond improving driving comfort for bridge users, the new surface will contribute to protecting the structural deck from water and salt infiltration, strengthening the bridge’s long-term durability and reducing the need for significant future repairs. The project demonstrates the strength of the synergies within the VINCI Group. Delivered with VINCI Construction, the programme brought together VINCI Highways' long-term asset management and operational expertise with VINCI Construction’s technical know-how in pavement solutions and complex works delivery.

Delivering complex works while keeping the bridge open

Throughout the programme, Confederation Bridge remained open to traffic, preserving the vital connection between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.

To maintain traffic while ensuring safe working conditions, the works were carried out in carefully phased sections through a moving work zone, with vehicles circulating in alternating lanes, day and night. This required continuous coordination between construction teams, bridge operations personnel, traffic management teams and emergency services.

Completing the works ahead of the summer season demonstrates the teams’ ability to deliver complex infrastructure maintenance under live traffic conditions, while minimizing disruption for residents, businesses, visitors and freight carriers.

A concession model supporting long-term value

Confederation Bridge is operated under a long-term concession framework administered by the Government of Canada. This model provides the structure required to operate, maintain and modernize the bridge over time, while enabling sustained private investment in safety, service quality and infrastructure resilience. The successful completion of the resurfacing programme is a concrete example of how long-term concession management can create value for users and territories: by preserving a strategic national asset, maintaining service continuity and supporting regional mobility and economic development.

As a long-term partner to public authorities and local communities, VINCI Highways will continue to support the performance of the Confederation Bridge over time, helping ensure that this landmark infrastructure remains safe, reliable and ready to meet the mobility needs of Prince Edward Island and mainland Canada for years to come.

VINCI Highways has reached a new milestone in India with the opening of ViaPlus ’ first free-flow toll plaza in the country. The Daulatpura toll plaza on the Delhi–Jaipur Expressway is among the first to enter free-flow operation as India accelerates its transition towards multi-lane barrier-free tolling.

Located on one of India’s most strategic road corridors, the Daulatpura toll plaza serves the Delhi–Jaipur Expressway, a key route connecting the Delhi region with the state of Rajasthan. For a busy six-lane corridor supporting both daily mobility and long-distance traffic, the shift to free-flow tolling marks a concrete improvement in the travel experience for road users.

Fast-track delivery

Delivered with Airtel Payments Bank for Indian Highways Management Company Limited , a joint venture led by NHAI , the Daulatpura deployment supports India’s ambitious national programme to accelerate the transition towards multi-lane free-flow tolling.

ViaPlus brought the toll plaza into free-flow operation in just five months, leading the end-to-end delivery of the system across design, roadside equipment integration, back-office systems and image review capabilities. 

This rapid delivery reflects ViaPlus’ strong technical capabilities and close coordination with its partner  Airtel Payment Bank . ViaPlus already processes around 40% of India’s electronic toll collection transactions, giving it a solid operational understanding of one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing tolling markets.

AI-powered tolling for high-volume traffic conditions

For its transition to barrier-free tolling, India has chosen a multi-lane free-flow model, or MLFF. Unlike other free-flow systems that operate on a single dedicated lane in some countries, MLFF enables vehicles to move across several lanes, while the system identifies them, verifies the transaction and processes the toll automatically.

In India, MLFF combines FASTag, the country’s electronic toll collection system based on RFID tags fixed to vehicle windscreens, with Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras and centralized back-office processing. As a vehicle passes through the tolling point, the system identifies the vehicle, verifies the transaction and processes the toll automatically.

At Daulatpura, AI-based image review technology strengthens this process by supporting license plate recognition and transaction verification, especially when additional checks are required. With vehicle classification and detection performed entirely using overhead sensors, the result is a smooth and automated system that enables reliable free-flow tolling operations in high-volume traffic conditions.

Supporting India’s national move to smarter highways

India is rapidly moving towards a smarter and more technology-driven national highway tolling ecosystem. The MLFF model is part of a broader transition aimed at making journeys faster, more seamless and more efficient across the national network. The momentum is accelerating, with India now preparing larger-scale deployments covering multiple toll plazas across key highway corridors. 

In this context, the opening of Daulatpura is both an operational and technological milestone for ViaPlus and a proof point for its ability to support large-scale digital transformation in road mobility.

Reducing emissions from highway operations is a key pillar of VINCI Highways' decarbonization strategy across its network. Just one year after the start of operations in the Czech Republic, Via Salis is turning this ambition into action by transitioning half of its operational fleet to sustainable biofuels.

Operating the 48-kilometre D4 highway southwest of Prague for just over a year, VINCI Highways' subsidiary Via Salis Operations has just transitioned 12 of its 25 vehicles to sustainable biofuel. The transition will continue over the coming months, with all maintenance vehicles set to run on biofuel by the end of 2026.

The transition extends across a broad range of vehicles used daily to operate and maintain the highway, from inspection vans to spreader trucks, remote-controlled mowers and loaders. Once fully deployed, the programme is expected to reduce emissions associated with D4 maintenance activities by around 75%.

A sustainable biofuel tailored to performant highway operations

Via Salis Operations selected Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a sustainable biofuel produced entirely from used vegetable oils and other residual fats. By relying exclusively on recycled feedstocks rather than agricultural crops grown specifically for fuel production, HVO offers a lower-carbon alternative to conventional diesel while supporting a more circular use of resources.

The solution was also selected for its ease of deployment and strong operational performance. Key operational benefits include:

• No vehicle or equipment modifications required;
• Conditions that help extend engine life;
• Reduced fuel consumption;
• Reliable performance under Czech winter conditions, including temperatures as low as –22°C;
• European production, contributing to a stable and reliable supply chain.

One in four VINCI Highways vehicles worldwide already runs on low-carbon energy

The transition underway at Via Salis reflects a broader transformation taking place across the VINCI Highways network. Today, 25 % of the fleet operated by VINCI Highways to operate its roads accross 13 countries already runs on a low-carbon energy source, either electricity or biofuels.

This progress is being driven by a pragmatic approach adapted to local realities. Rather than relying on a single technology, VINCI Highways deploys the solutions best suited to local operational needs, energy ecosystems and available technologies:

• In Colombia, Via Sumapaz recently added its first electric tow truck to support emergency response and roadside assistance operations, bringing the concession close to 20 electric vehicles in service.
• In Brazil, in a country where biofuels are widely available, most of the fleets operated by Entrevias and Via Cristais run on ethanol.

Together, these initiatives show how a combination of sustainable biofuels and electrification is helping decarbonize highway operations at large scale across a diverse international network.

Thanks to this locally grounded approach to environmental engagement, VINCI Highways has already reduced its direct emissions by 40% since 2018 .

Spanning 3,750 kilometres of highways across 13 countries, the VINCI Highways network brings together innovative mobility solutions to improve connectivity and support local development.

From major highway program management to technological innovations and customer-focused services, our movie showcases how we deliver upgraded mobility and bring long-term value for communities and the regions we serve.

As a trusted long-term partner, we open the way to safer, more reliable and efficient road transportation.

Entrevias , powered by VINCI Highways, has unveiled its new brand identity, marking a new phase for one of Brazil’s major highway operators. The announcement comes as Entrevias reaches another milestone in the modernization of SP-333, a strategic corridor in the State of São Paulo.

Entrevias is entering a new phase of its development with a renewed identity that reflects both its strong local roots and its connection to VINCI Highways’ global network.

The new brand Entrevias powered by VINCI Highways expresses the ambition to bring together local commitment and global expertise to support safer and more performant mobility in Brazil. It gives new visibility to a positive transformation already underway across the Entrevias network, in infrastructure, operations, services, safety and environmental performance.

The new identity reflects the momentum already visible on the network. Entrevias has just opened a new 22-kilometer duplicated section on SP-333, one of the key corridors crossing the State of São Paulo. For the communities and businesses that depend on this corridor every day, the benefits are concrete: smoother traffic and more reliable journeys for passenger vehicles, freight transport and agricultural flows. The latest opened section also includes new access and return interchanges, as well as wildlife crossings designed to protect biodiversity along the corridor. The new section is part of Entrevias’ broader modernization program that has progressively transformed the highway since the beginning of the concession.

As part of VINCI Highways, Entrevias’ new chapter will be supported by international expertise in road safety, operations, asset management, digital monitoring, environmental performance and customer experience. Entrevias will also benefit from stronger synergies in Brazil, particularly with Via Cristais , VINCI Highways’ other road concession in the country, creating new opportunities to share best practices and accelerate innovation.

Across its network, Entrevias is already deploying practical solutions such as renewable energy, electric tow trucks, wastewater reuse systems and biodiversity protection measures, tangible examples of how infrastructure can perform better while reducing its environmental footprint .

With its new identity, Entrevias powered by VINCI Highways opens a new chapter: one that honors the progress already achieved on São Paulo’s roads and brings new momentum, new standards and global expertise to the next phase of its development.

Organised each year across the VINCI Group entities, Safety Week brings together employees, managers, operational teams and partners around a shared objective: strengthening a shared culture of prevention across all activities. The initiative also reflects VINCI’s “Safety First” mindset, encouraging every employee to remain vigilant, speak up in potentially unsafe situations and make safety part of everyday decision-making.

For VINCI Highways, safety is embedded in the day-to-day operation of highways, urban roads, bridges and mobility services. From traffic supervision and infrastructure maintenance to incident response and mobility management, our 4,500 employees work every day to help ensure smooth and reliable journeys for millions of users across 3,750 km network . Shared across all functions, locations and levels of responsibility, this culture of vigilance plays a central role in protecting employees, partners and the users of VINCI Highways infrastructure alike.

For a major international road concession company such as VINCI Highways, the challenge is to deploy VINCI’s zero-accident practices across very different countries, cultures and operating environments, while fully integrating local contexts. In this respect, VINCI Safety Week plays a key role in strengthening a shared corporate culture and reflecting the Group’s DNA, supporting our ability to roll out common safety standards worldwide.

Throughout the week, our teams engaged in emergency response simulations, roadside intervention demonstrations and immersive workshops reproducing real-life maintenance and incident management scenarios. Practical activities and collective discussions also focused on hazard identification, workplace wellbeing, field coordination and the everyday challenges associated with operating on live traffic across our network. Particular attention was given to reinforcing everyday safety reflexes, encouraging employees to look out for one another, ensure that procedures are consistently applied in the field and help prevent incidents.

More than an annual initiative, Safety Week reflects VINCI Highways’ long-term commitment to embedding safety into every aspect of its operations, with people remaining at the heart of safer and more sustainable mobility. With 75% of entities having achieved zero lost-time incidents in 2025, VINCI Highways continues to move forward toward its ambition of zero accidents. These figures are encouraging and reflect the continuous progress made by teams across the network. But when it comes to safety, there is no room for complacency: safety is above all about humility. The priority is to maintain this level of performance over time and to extend it with the same level of rigor and vigilance to the concessions recently integrated into VINCI Highways. 

Safety is never “mission accomplished”: it requires the constant attention and commitment of everyone involved. In 2026 and beyond, I call on all our teams to continue our efforts to move ever closer to the VINCI Group’s objective of zero accidents .

President of VINCI Highways

Highway operations are part of everyday life. The road is open, traffic moves, assistance arrives when needed. Yet behind this apparent simplicity lies one of the most demanding areas of mobility: keeping highways safe, operational and reliable at all times. This is why VINCI Highways created Open Tour : to reveal what usually remains behind the scenes.

Held simultaneously across all regions where VINCI Highways operates, Open Tour is one of the largest initiatives of its kind in the highway industry. In one unprecedented global movement, teams across the world opened traffic management centres, maintenance sites, patrol bases and operational facilities to visitors, transforming usually restricted environments into places of discovery and dialogue.

The second edition of Open Tour has just come to a close, confirming the success of an event designed to make highway operations more visible, more tangible and more inspiring for the next generation.

This year, Open Tour was placed under the sign of youth and road safety. Young people came in large numbers across the network, showing the strong interest that highway operations can spark among younger audiences when they are experienced from the inside. VINCI Highways chose to put road safety at the centre of this edition, as a defining commitment of its role as a highway operator. The ambition was to speak directly to future drivers and young road users, helping them understand risks through concrete experiences rather than abstract messages.

Across the network, teams organised visits, demonstrations and workshops showcasing the wide range of initiatives and operations deployed daily across VINCI Highways’ concessions to keep highways safe and running smoothly. The following examples provide a glimpse into the actions carried out across the different regions where we operate: 

In Slovakia, nearly 300 children from the Nitra region joined firefighters, first aid teams and Via Pribina operational staff for a day focused on responsible behaviour on the road.

In the Czech Republic, the D4 Highway Operational Centre welcomed schools and local visitors for guided tours, accident simulators and emergency response demonstrations. Students’ artworks were also exhibited, bringing a creative dimension to road safety awareness.

In Greece, Open Tour highlighted two major highway infrastructures. At the iconic Rion-Antirion Bridge, students from the School of Mechanical Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens discovered one of the country’s landmark structures and had the rare opportunity to visit the inside of its pylons. Olympia Odos welcomed high school students specialising in electronics and electrical systems. They explored the hidden side of highway operations, from the Traffic Management Centre to an emergency tunnel in the Kakia Skala area. The visit also introduced them to Olympia Odos’ innovations, including distance-based tolling through Olympia Pass and Smart Tunnel technologies, as well as sustainability initiatives such as solar energy production and waste management.

In Germany, where VINCI Highways builds and operates five highways, Via Niedersachsen opened the doors of the A7 highway under bright sunshine, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how the route prepares for the busy summer travel season.

In India, ViaPlus opened the doors of its Hyderabad and Bangalore offices to more than 90 employees’ children, 55 spouses and over 25 students, faculty members and delegates from the Indo-French Innovation Network for two days of immersive activities focused on mobility and innovation. Through technology demonstrations, orientation sessions and themed workshops, participants discovered the company’s expertise in mobility solutions, R&D and future transportation technologies, while strengthening connections between teams, families and the workplace.

In Brazil, students visiting Entrevias and Via Cristais discovered the Operational Control Centres, explored operational vehicles and took part in activities focused on road safety, rescue simulation and recycling. 

In Colombia, Via Sumapaz showed the scale of institutional mobilisation around Open Tour. Major public authorities and partners joined the event, including representatives of ANI, the concession grantor, the national road authority, the National Road Safety Association, financial partners and numerous media outlets. Their participation gave this edition a strong public dimension and confirmed Open Tour’s role as a platform for shared commitment to safer roads.

In Peru, Lima Expresa welcomed engineering students who discovered the Operations Control Centre, the Gran Túnel Lima Expresa and the photovoltaic-equipped operational base, while discussing the challenges of building a more connected, efficient and sustainable mobility in Lima.

In the United States, ViaPlus USA welcomed local STEM students for an open house focused on mobility technologies and career opportunities in transportation, while Northwest Parkway , whose Open Tour was postponed by one week due to snowfall, highlighted the people behind daily operations through staff portraits and testimonials.

With Open Tour 2026, VINCI Highways has turned a global open day into a powerful moment of transmission. By revealing the reality of highway operations to the next generation, the event gives the public a direct view of the complexity of highway operations, the expertise of the teams, the precision required in every gesture and the growing role of AI and other technologies in the road sector.

In Brazil, when nearly 200,000 visitors converge on Agrishow in Ribeirao Preto, our Entrevias team shifts into high gear to keep one of global agriculture’s flagship events moving safely and smoothly.

As one of the world’s leading agricultural producers, Brazil relies on its highway network to connect farms and export routes. In Ribeirão Preto, in the State of São Paulo, this connection between agriculture and mobility becomes especially visible every year with Agrishow, the largest agricultural technology fair in Latin America and one of the biggest in the world.

Served by the Prefeito Antônio Duarte Nogueira Highway, operated by VINCI Highways’ concessionaire Entrevias, the event is a major mobility challenge. Each year, we mobilise teams and resources to help ensure smooth access to Agrishow and support the success of the event.

A major showcase of farming innovation 

Set across 520,000 square metres, Agrishow is a large-scale demonstration of the technological sophistication of modern agriculture. Designed to cover solutions for all types of crops and farm sizes, the fair brings together the full agribusiness value chain, from machinery, irrigation and storage to precision farming and new production technologies. It is also a major platform for product launches and the latest trends shaping the future of agriculture in Brazil and beyond.

From 27 April to 1 May 2026, the event will once again bring together nearly 200,000 visitors and more than 800 brands, buyers, public authorities and business delegations from key agricultural countries such as the United States, India and China.

One of the busiest weeks of the year for Entrevias

During Agrishow, traffic around Ribeirão Preto intensifies sharply, with volumes on the access route expected to rise by around 20%. To keep vehicles moving safely and efficiently, Entrevias deploys a reinforced operational plan combining real-time traffic guidance, congestion management, road signage, user assistance and rapid-response interventions, in coordination with the Highway Patrol.

Our teams also strengthen their presence on the ground, with additional patrol vehicles, tow trucks and ambulances positioned to respond to incidents and support drivers throughout the event. Temporary road closures and detours are implemented during peak periods to ease circulation and help absorb the exceptional flow of visitors and exhibitors converging on the fair.

This year, Entrevias teams will also be present at the fair through the “Life in Motion” programme, raising awareness of safer and more preventive driving practices.

Highways at the service of their territories

Agrishow illustrates a broader ambition for VINCI Highways in Brazil. With nearly 1,200 km of highways operated or under construction through Entrevias in São Paulo and Via Cristais in Minas Gerais and Goiás, VINCI Highways is present in regions that play a key role in the country’s agricultural production and logistics flows.

This footprint positions VINCI Highways as a long-term partner to Brazilian agribusiness, both in everyday mobility and at strategic moments such as Agrishow. By supporting safer, more reliable connections between territories, economic hubs and export routes, VINCI Highways contributes to the prosperity of the regions it serves.

At the occasion of World Earth Day 2026, Tanguy Bertolus, Chief Technical and Operations Director at VINCI Highways, explains how VINCI Highways' global model provides an efficient framework for environmental progress accross a wide variety of countries and contexts.

From deploying solar energy across our highways to electrifying services, optimizing resources, and protecting biodiversity and wildlife, discover how our commitments turn the environmental transition into long-term value.

Examples of our positive impact on the field:

• Delivering one of Europe's largest highway solar plant in Greece
• Reducing direct emissions of more than 30 % since 2018 on Lima Expresa in Peru

• Open a one-mile pollinator corridor along Northwest Parkway in Colorado

   

VINCI Highways operates a diverse road network from North America to Europe . In the northern hemisphere, several of our highways are exposed every year to severe winter conditions. This year, the winter season was particularly intense, especially in Europe, with repeated episodes of snow, ice and black ice. As winter comes to an end, our teams are already preparing for the next phase, with Easter travel and then summer journeys adding to the usual flow of freight traffic and daily commuting.

A first full winter season successfully managed on Via Salis

In the Czech Republic, Via Salis offers a strong illustration of that effort. The 2025–2026 season was the first full winter maintenance season on the D4 highway since it opened to service in December 2024. It was a demanding first test, with more frequent snow, ice and black ice than during the previous season. Via Salis Operations teams handled these episodes through close monitoring, fast intervention and strong field coordination, keeping the highway open and safe throughout the winter. From the Operations Control Centre in Lety, they coordinated patrols, winter services, roadside assistance and incident response to keep the highway fully available to drivers.

With winter now coming to a close, Via Salis has moved into its spring cleaning programme. Sweeping operations are under way along the D4 as the highway is prepared for the busier months ahead.

Preparing for Easter and summer traffic

The move into spring is first and foremost an operational one. Easter getaways and, soon after, summer holiday journeys increase traffic on top of the flows that are already there every day. Networks therefore need to absorb these peaks while continuing to serve freight transport and everyday mobility under the same conditions of safety and service.

Greece is a good example of that challenge. Our network serves destinations that are especially popular with Greek travellers during the long Orthodox Easter weekend. Olympia Odos, between Athens and now Pyrgos, and the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, put in place seasonal operational measures to absorb this peak period, with reinforced staff and equipment to support traffic conditions and assist drivers.

Another part of that transition is helping drivers return to the right habits after the winter months and stay fully alert during longer holiday journeys. Across our network, VINCI Highways teams prepare and share safe travel tips with customers: checking the vehicle before departure, allowing enough time for the trip, taking regular breaks and staying informed about traffic and weather conditions.

That approach also extends to dedicated summer breaks on service areas, where our teams invite drivers to pause in an environment focused on road safety awareness and responsible driving. These initiatives offer drivers a practical and appreciated opportunity to take a real break, reset their attention and continue their journey in better conditions. This summer, they will once again be organised in Slovakia and will be introduced for the first time in the Czech Republic.

From winter response to spring cleaning, peak traffic management, driver information and summer road safety initiatives, the new season begins well before the first holiday departures. Across the VINCI Highways network, our teams are already at work to make sure roads remain ready for every kind of journey.

We are very pleased to welcome you to the new VINCI Highways website . For the first time, this dedicated space brings together the key dimensions of our identity and of the model we have built as an international road concessions operator . Here , you can discover our distinctive expertise , our commitments to safer and more sustainable mobility , our innovations , and the projects that are shaping VINCI Highways today.

That momentum can be seen across our network: in the integration of Northwest Parkway in Colorado , in the development of Via Cristais and Entrevias in Brazil, in the expansion of ViaPlus in free-flow tolling , and in projects such as Patras–Pyrgos in Greece , Bogotá–Girardot in Colombia and Via Salis in the Czech Republic, the country's first road PPP, which has confirmed a very successful first year in operation. Wherever public authorities place their trust in us, our integrated model helps deliver road infrastructure that is safer, efficiently operated and responsive to local needs. 

This website is also a way to give visibility to the women and men of VINCI Highways . Across our network, more than 4,500 people operate and improve our roads, drawing on our strong local roots and our shared operating culture. By bringing their work and expertise into one place, the website also highlights the careers that are being built across our network . 

Road mobility is entering a new chapter. Decarbonisation is accelerating and digital tools are reshaping the way infrastructure is managed. In a sector that is evolving rapidly while remaining firmly embedded in everyday life, making our role and methods clearly understood matters more than ever.

Welcome to our website!

VINCI Highways’ tolling solutions specialist ViaPlus has won two free flow tolling contracts in India. Located on major roads in northern India, these projects come as the country moves forward with its ambition to expand free flow tolling and take the digitalisation of its road network to the next stage.

The new contracts cover tolling sites at Daulatpura, on the Delhi–Jaipur route, and Badarpur, on the Delhi–Faridabad route, two major highways serving one of the country’s busiest and most dynamic regions. At both locations, ViaPlus will provide and operate the back-office systems, integrate the roadside equipment required for free flow tolling, and carry out image review for licence-plate-based transactions.

These projects come as India enters a new phase in the digital transformation of tolling. Electronic toll payment is already widely adopted across the country, and India is now moving toward free flow tolling as the next stage in the evolution of its highway network. The aim is to make road travel more seamless and more efficient at national scale, in a country where road mobility plays a central role in trade and daily life.

The two contracts build on a significant ViaPlus presence in India. In 2025, ViaPlus processed over 2.7 billion electronic toll transactions in the country, representing around 40% of the national total. That footprint makes ViaPlus a major player in the market and gives VINCI Highways a strong platform from which to support the next phase of India’s tolling transformation.

Those new contracts mark a further step for VINCI Highways as a long-term partner in the transformation of road mobility in India.

In Brazil, the Entrevias network is using artificial intelligence to strengthen road safety. AI-powered cameras detect risky driving behaviour in real time, helping teams deploy faster and more targeted prevention actions alongside highway police.

Operating two key highway corridors in the State of São Paulo, Entrevias has built a strong track record of operational innovation. Operationnally integrated into our VINCI Highways network since the end of 2025, the concession serves major agricultural and logistics areas around Ribeirão Preto and Marília. It is on these high-traffic routes that Entrevias is now pioneering a new use of artificial intelligence to support safer driving.

The system relies on AI-enabled cameras capable of identifying dangerous behaviour such as mobile phone use at the wheel and failure to wear a seatbelt. Detected in real time, these situations can then trigger targeted prevention and enforcement measures in coordination with the highway police. By making it possible to intervene more quickly and more precisely, the solution strengthens the effectiveness of road safety actions while supporting a more proactive approach to prevention.

More than a technology upgrade, this initiative reflects VINCI Highways’ ambition to use AI where it can deliver immediate, concrete value for road users and operators alike. On Entrevias, artificial intelligence is becoming a practical tool to address everyday safety risks and encourage more responsible driving behaviour.

This is not the only example in Brazil. On Via Cristais, our teams have also deployed AI to improve safety in patrol service vehicles. The system is designed to detect signs of driver fatigue and alert both the patrol operator and our control centre when reduced vigilance is identified. This adds a further layer to VINCI Highways’ workplace safety strategy by helping protect employees operating on the network.

With these deployments in Brazil, VINCI Highways continues to roll out the potential of artificial intelligence across all its geographies. AI-based initiatives are already being used to optimise tolling technologies in India and the United States, improve the performance of lighting and road systems in Greece, and support automatic incident detection in Slovakia and Peru. 

There are few places in the world where runners get the opportunity to cross a suspension bridge more than 70 meters above the water, with the Tagus stretching into the horizon and Lisbon ahead. In Lisbon, this unique experience takes place on the 25 de Abril Bridge, operated by VINCI Highways and its partner Mota-Engil under the Lusoponte concession.

Each year, the Lisbon Half Marathon transforms the 25 de Abril Bridge into a course of achievement and celebration, bringing together thousands of runners in one of the city’s most iconic settings. More than 30,000 participants gathered this year to cross the Tagus, taking part in both the half marathon and the 10 km race, in a morning filled with energy, enthusiasm and a strong sense of community. For a few hours, the bridge changed rhythm. The usual flow of vehicles gave way to the sound of footsteps and the collective emotion of runners experiencing one of Lisbon’s most remarkable routes.   

This edition held particular significance as it marked the 60th anniversary of the 25 de Abril Bridge. To celebrate this milestone, Lusoponte displayed a banner across the deck with a simple yet powerful message: “Lusoponte bringing shores together”. This message embodies the core mission of the infrastructure: ensuring mobility between the two banks of the Tagus while also reflecting Lusoponte’s commitment to foster economic and social connections across Lisbon.

This landmark event in Lisbon perfectly illustrates VINCI Highways’ commitment to mobilizing its most iconic infrastructure in support of meaningful collective experiences and public life, from hosting the Olympic flame relay on the Rio–Antirrio Bridge in Greece to welcoming the Terry Fox charity marathon on the Confederation Bridge in Canada.
