The project is being delivered as a public-private partnership (PPP) and is part of the Colombian government’s $15 billion Fourth Generation (‘4G’) road building programme aimed at integrating and upgrading the country’s road network and creating better connectivity. Colombia has some of the poorest roads in the world, exacerbated by challenging terrain. Upgrading the national road network is a key priority to reduce transportation costs, improve economic competitiveness, better connect the interior and industrial centres to the coast and major ports, and improve road safety.
