We advised Macquarie Infrastructure Partners II (MIP II) and Skanska Infrastructure Development (Skanska) in the divestiture of their respective interests in Elizabeth River Crossings (ERC) as part of a full sale of ERC to a special-purpose vehicle owned by Abertis Infraestructuras and Manulife Investment Management. As a result, Abertis will operate and maintain the Downtown and Midtown tunnels in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, which provide a vital transportation link between Norfolk and Portsmouth, as well as the MLK Expressway and approximately 51 miles of highway. The sale closed on December 30, 2020.
