The project is backed by financing from Germany’s KfW IPEX-Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), Germany’s MEAG, KBC Bank, Niederlassung Deutschland, and ČSOB.

The A49 project, which is divided into four sections, forms part of a comprehensive German Federal Government infrastructure programme, which aims to partially develop, modernise and upgrade 20 key sections of the national road network.

Strabag CEO Thomas Birtel said: “We are pleased about the renewed trust in our ability to successfully realise large infrastructure projects in public-private partnerships, something we are already demonstrating in Germany with the A8 and A5 motorways.”
