MEXICO CITY, Feb. 09, 2016 -- Empresas ICA, S.AB. de C.V. (BMV:ICA) (NYSE:ICA), the largest infrastructure and construction company in Mexico, confirmed today that its subsidiary COVIMSA has signed an agreement with CKD Fomento a la Energía e Infraestructura de México (EXI), through the EXICK Trust, for a Ps. 750 million convertible loan to provide the resources required for the completion of the Palmillas-Apaseo El Grande tollroad in the states of Queretaro and Guanajuato.
Autovía Queretaro, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of COVIMSA, holds the 30-year concession to construction, operate, exploit, preserve, and maintain the highway.
The Palmillas–Apaseo El Grande tollroad is one of the most important construction projects in Mexico. The 4-lane, 86 km, high-specification tollroad in Queretaro and Guanajuato is expected to reduce traffic congestion resulting from the sustained economic growth of the region.
This agreement ensures all the resources that are required to finalize the construction and putting into service of the highway. ICA expects that the construction phase will be completed in September 2016, and the highway will join ICA’s existing portfolio of five operating highways.
