History

Our history began in 1968 when Ferrovial, our parent company, entered the roadway sector with the Bilbao-Behovia toll road concession in Spain. Over the next two decades, it was awarded the concession of two major highways in the country, establishing itself as a key player in the construction sector as it began its international expansion.

Thirty years later, Cintra was born to develop and focus on highway promotion. Our first projects included the concession of two stretches of the Pan-American highway in Chile and the 407 ETR in Canada, which remains as one of our primary assets. The Canadian highway was a milestone in the sector as it established itself as the world’s first all-electronic, open access highway thanks to a revolutionary free flow toll-system.

Since then, we have continued to develop our international expansion plan and currently manage a total of 912 miles of highways in the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, Colombia, Portugal, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Slovakia.

In 2004, we successfully entered the U.S. market by winning the bid for the Chicago Skyway (Illinois)and established our U.S. headquarters in Austin, Texas. Today, we manage five major concessions representing a total investment of roughly $10 billion, the LBJ Express, North Tarrant Express (NTE), and NTE 35W  in North Texas, the recently opened I-77 Express Lanes in Charlotte, North Carolina and the I-66 Outside the Beltway project in Northern Virginia. We were also recently awarded a new a new phase of the NTE 35W redevelopment project, the 3C project.

We work together with communities all around the United States to solve transportation issues by efficiently delivering innovative and effective infrastructure solutions that help drivers and commerce move around safely.

We also collaborate with small businesses and local contractors to grow the local economy and generate significant local jobs and economic development opportunities through our roadway projects. In Texas alone, our projects have utilized more than 2,000 local firms during construction and have awarded approximately $600 million dollars in contracts to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms.
