closed

The project involves designing, constructing, financing, operating, and maintaining a 236 km double-lane carriageway connecting the cities of Bucaramanga, Barrancabermeja and Yondo in the Santander and Antioquia​ located in the north regions of Colombia. The existing road is to be improved and rehabilitated, and a new road carriageway is to be developed running through ten municipalities Bucaramanga, Lebrija, Girón, San Vicente de Chucurí, Sabana de Torres, Betulia, Barrancabermeja, and Yondó. The project also includes the construction of 34 new bridges and viaducts as well as two tunnels La Sorda and La Paz, 5.96 km in length. Upon completion, the road will reduce travel time from Barrancabermeja to Bucaramanga from the current two hours and twenty minutes to approximately one hour.
