Analysis · FER · Real Estate & Construction
Ferrovial's consortium has been selected to finance, design, build, operate and maintain Phase 1 of Georgia's I-285 East Express Lanes, an $8.9 billion construction-value project. This marks its first managed-lanes award in Georgia and its second multi-billion-dollar US P3 win in under two months, following the $9.2 billion I-24 Tennessee award disclosed in August and commercially closed September 30. The award adds a large, long-duration backlog item to Ferrovial's North American growth engine, where it already operates five express lanes. The filing gives no equity contribution, concession term, or financing structure, so the near-term earnings impact cannot be quantified from this disclosure alone. The separate comprehensive development agreement also positions the consortium for the remaining phases, which would bring the corridor to roughly 37.5 miles of express lanes in each direction.
