Via 40 Express consists of Conconcreto, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, and VINCI Construction Terrassement.
The second section will be widened with a third lane by 2.8 km between its three new tunnels with a total length of 2.2 km, and the last five through the construction of a third lane 69.0 km long on the right carriageway and 59.5 km on the left carriageway. This major highway project is one of the largest in Colombia and will create 14,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs.
