Malla Vial del Meta Highway concession

Active

This project involves the concession of the 267km Malla Vial del Meta highway in Colombia, part of the country's 4G transport PPP program. The concession is for a period of 30 years and it is divided in two main road corridors: Villavicencio - Granada (via Acacias, Guamal and San Martin), and Villavicencio - Puerto Gaitan (via Puerto Lopez). Malla Vial del Meta reaches financial close over 7 years after being awarded by Colombia's national infrastructure agency (ANI) in 2015. The sponsors were initially unable to reach FC and began arbitration proceedings against ANI in 2016, citing a significant reduction in heavy vehicle flow. The project company "Concesión Vial de los Llanos" is owned by Odinsa Group, El Condor, Sarugo y Cia. In March 2022, Odinsa increased its stake in the concessionaire by purchasing the 30% stake held by local construction company Murcia Murcia. Total project cost is $541m (Ps 2.1 trillion) and the project company closed a debt package for $152m (Ps 590 billion) from Financiera de Desarrollo Nacional (FDN) - $77.8m (Ps 295 billion); BanColombia - $38.9m (Ps 147.5 billion); and Banco Davivienda - $38.9m (Ps 147.5 billion). The financial close date is April 25th, 2022.
