"The Windsor-Essex Parkway Project represents the first P3 project in Ontario for ACCIONA. This is an important project for Windsorites and we are delighted to have earned the privilege to contribute to the continuing infrastructure development in Ontario and Windsor in particular. We look forward to working with our partners to deliver this significant infrastructure project and establishing what we believe will be a long and successful relationship with the Province and the local construction community from whom we will draw most of our resources."
Bob Park, President, ACCIONA Infrastructures Canada.

ACCIONA will participate with its partners in the three Joint Ventures:

• Concession JV as Equity Investor and Debt Arranger,
• Design and build JV as General Contractor and
• Operations and Maintenance JV for the operation and maintenance of the road.
