The project included the improvement of 124.6 km of track and the rehabilitation of another 132.3 km. The project was proposed by Promesa de Sociedad Futura Alternativas Viales S.A.S., which was the only company to take part in the bidding process. The bidding criteria was the lowest funding provided by the government, but since there was no other bidder the sponsors were not entitled to any public funding for the project.
