SH 130 Concession Co. [a Cintra-Zachry partnership] filed a bankruptcy reorganization plan Friday [August 12] that proposes transferring company ownership to its largest lenders, which include the Federal Highway Administration and a group of European banks. . . . The reorganization plan proposes that SH 130 Concession Co., under its lenders’ ownership, would continue to operate and maintain the road.” [Link added.]
