A consortium led by Eurovia is currently upgrading and widening the A5 motorway between the cities of Malsch and Offenburg located in southern Germany. The consortium is involved as part of a public-private partnership contract managed by VINCI Concessions. The target of the widening scheme is a 41.5-km segment of the 60-km motorway that connects the two cities; the segment will be converted from a dual 2-lane to a dual 3-lane configuration.
