Colombia’s massive road expansion programme is seeing delays.
Construction delays are a problem for Colombia’s massive road development programme. Eight of the country’s Public-Private Alliance (APP) road projects were completed in 2023, but a further 16 are behind schedule and remain incomplete.
The works are worth a total of US$513.5 million and are being carried out for the country’s National Infrastructure Agency (ANI). Three stretches of the Pamplona-Cucuta highway should be complete during 2024, along with a section of the North Connection Highway. But work has still to be completed for the Bucaramanga-Barrancabermeja-Yondo Project, which had been scheduled to be ready for traffic in 2022.
The Pamplona-Cúcuta highway is of particular note as it is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country and is being managed by Colombia’s National Infrastructure Agency (ANI). The project is being carried out by the Unión Vial Río Pamplonita Concessionaire, a company that belongs to the Spanish group Sacyr. |
