Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the IDB Invest, the Buga-Buenaventura Road Corridor (the "Project") is a Fifth Generation Concession ("5G") project led by the Government of Colombia, through the National Infrastructure Agency ("ANI"). This project was awarded to the company Union Vial Camino del Pacifico, S.A.S (the "Concessionaire" or the "Client"), which is fully owned by the company Sacyr Concesiones.

The Project involves financing, construction, rehabilitation, improvement, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the Buga-Buenaventura Road corridor (the "Corridor"), which spans 128 kilometers ("km") in the Department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The Project includes improving and maintaining 128km of existing toll roads, rehabilitating 24km, and extending 35 km of sections currently on single to dual carriageways.

The Preconstruction Phase of the Project began in early 2023. The Construction Phase of the Project, which started in August 2024, will last approximately 5 years, while the Operation and Maintenance Phase will extend for up to 29 years from the start date of the concession.

IDB Invest will participate in the project's financing up to the specified amount, with resources to be used to cover the project's costs until it becomes operational.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IDB / IDB INVEST

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IDB Invest)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IDB Invest is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
