On May 28, VINCI Highways launched the first edition of the Open Tour, a global open day held simultaneously across all its concessions. Visitors from around the world had the opportunity to go behind the scenes of highway operations and meet the men and women who keep them running every day.

From Colombia to Slovakia, passing through Brazil, Greece, Canada, and India, 3,750 kilometers of highways welcomed visitors eager to discover the professions, technical expertise, and innovations that ensure safety, smooth traffic flow, and quality of service every day. By showcasing the work of the men and women on the ground, the initiative also concretely illustrated the value of the concession model and the contribution of private expertise to road mobility.

Highlights of this first edition included
In Greece, specialized journalists explored tunnels and control centers. In Colombia, over 300 local residents and representatives from transport associations visited the newly completed Via Sumapaz highway. Students were welcomed in Brazil, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, India, and on the Confederation Bridge in Canada. In Lima, Peru, engineering students discovered the professions related to highway operations and digital tolling. Even highways still under construction opened their doors, such as the Via Mülhausen in Germany, where visitors explored a major highway construction site, learned about safety measures for workers, and discovered numerous environmental initiatives deployed.

A global operation of unprecedented scale, driven by those who keep the roads running every day. See you in 2026!
