Colombia contract won by consortium

Colombia’s National Infrastructure Agency (ANI), has awarded a consortium led by Spanish construction firm, 3959 Sacyr, a contract for work on the Pasto to Rumichaca highway. The route lies near Colombia’s border with Ecuador. This project forms part of the second wave of 4G road concessions being awarded. A second carriageway will be built for 80km between Ipiales and Catumbuco, with six road intersections, 2.6km of tunnels and 1.5km of bridges, pontoons and viaducts. The SAC 4G consortium comprises Sacyr and Herdoiza Crespo Construcciones. Investment in the project is expected to be in the order of US$561.5 million and the work will take four years to complete.
