This paper considers the existence of a given transport infrastructure and analyzes the optimal conditions for investing in a complementary or rival new infrastructure. The model allows us to identify some key variables to be considered in cost-benefit analysis and highlights the importance of socially optimal access pricing in relation to investment decisions. The socially optimal conditions for investment depend on, among others, the cross-effects between different modes of transport, the volume of demand, the construction cost of the new infrastructure, and the restrictions faced by the regulator.
