The Argentine government has officially announced an increase in toll rates for national roads and highways across the country, specifically affecting routes managed by Corredores Viales S.A. The new toll rates will come into effect at midnight on Thursday, February 26, 2026, following the publication of Resolution 248/2026 in the Official Gazette. This decision impacts toll stations located along various corridors that pass through 13 provinces in Argentina.

The new rates will affect specific toll stations on major routes, including key highways such as the Riccheri, Ezeiza-Cañuelas, Buenos Aires-Rosario, and Rosario-Córdoba. This measure precedes ongoing discussions related to the privatization of the road sector, indicating a shift in the government's approach towards road management and financing, likely influenced by economic considerations.

The implementation of these increased toll rates is expected to provoke various public responses, particularly concerning affordability for daily commuters and freight transporters. As the government moves towards privatization, the adjustments may reflect broader economic policies aimed at boosting infrastructure funding while potentially raising concerns about public accessibility and the impact on transportation costs throughout the country.
