Abstract

The National Highway Administration (NHA) requires a special authorization for use of public roads and lateral routes, authorization considered by the concessionary companies as contrary to the rights established by the concession itself. The Contraloría General de la República (Government Accountability Office) has limited the powers of this authorization, even when has declared it legal. In transfer and change of service issues, the principal problem is not solved, because the high impact of the transfer operations in the construction contracts do not decrease.
