An interesting development is being seen in Puerto Rico, with various financial institutions bargaining hard to win a key highway concession. 3347 Goldman Sachs and 3350 Morgan Stanley are both keen to win the PR-22 highway concession, which is one of the busiest in Puerto Rico and generated revenues of US$85.1 million in 2009.

The route is called the De Diego highway and the investment banks may make their final offers before the end of May 2011. The deals will be offered as partnerships. Goldman Sachs Infrastructure Partners will make its bids in conjunction with Albertis Infraestructuras and Morgan Stanley with 980 OHL Concesiones. However, the consortium Itinere Infraestructuras and Citi Infrastructure Investors, as well as Brazilian firm 3346 Companhia de Concessoes Rodoviarias (CCR), have withdrawn from the tender process.
