According to the report of the Brazilian National Transport Association, 57.3% of Brazil's highways are not suitable for transportation, and only 42.7% are in good condition. Although the condition of Brazilian roads is very poor, the Brazilian National Transportation Association pointed out that between 2004 and 2016, the proportion of roads in good condition in Brazil increased from 18.7% to 42.7%, an increase of 24%.

Historically, the main reason for the poor road conditions in Brazil is that the government has invested very little in Brazil's domestic transport infrastructure. At the same time, the density of the road network in Brazil is very low. "With only 24.8 kilometers of roads per 1,000 square kilometers of land in Brazil, the average density of road infrastructure in Brazil is very low compared to other countries in the world.

Currently, three road concession packages are being tendered in Brazil. These apply to roads in Rio Grande do Sul, Belo Horizonte Ring Road and São Paulo Ring Road. The works will cost $2.45 billion in the region. Despite Brazil's current economic situation, many bidders have already shown interest in these projects.
