Bogotá has decided to award the Unión Temporal Cable San Cristóbal consortium the contract to build the US$75 million San Cristóbal cable car project in Colombia.

The Unión Temporal Cable San Cristóbal consortium is made up of Doppelmayr Colombia (59.9%), CYG Ingeniería y Construcciones (24.06%), Proyectos de Ingeniería-Proing (8.02%) and Alca Ingeniería (8.02%). The 2.8km cable car line will be able to transport 4,000 passengers per hour in each direction and have 144 cabins. Along with the cable car, there will be 6 new parks and new squares, as well as cultural facilities, among other works.

Financing is expected to be obtained by the end of 2023 for the construction of three additional cable car lines, one in Bolívar city and two in the center of Bogotá along the green corridor on Carrera Séptima avenue.
