Government opts for expensive PPP model for bridge repairs

The Transport Ministry will prepare a tender for a private partner to repair 575 of nearly 1,800 bridges on first‑class roads by the end of January 2026. The Value for Money Unit did not recommend the PPP model for the €2.7bn project, arguing it is far more expensive than traditional state‑funded repairs. The Ministry claims the PPP approach will accelerate work, scheduled for 2028-32.
