The Colombian National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) has finally signed the contract for the concession contract of the Bucaramanga- Pamplona road PPP project.

The project is the first to be awarded from the third package of the Colombian Fourth Generation (4G) road concessions program, which includes about 40 projects to build approximately 8,000 km with a total investment of US$17.5 billion.

The new road will have connections with the Barbosa – Bucaramanga and the Pamplona – Cúcuta concessions. The concession value is estimated at US$436 million.
