"The Puerta de Hierro Toll Road Project is comprised of (i) the design, improvement, operation and maintenance of 192.6 km of an existing bi-directional carriage toll road and (ii) the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a 5.2 km greenfield bypass pursuant to a public-private partnership concession under Colombia’s 4th Generation road expansion program. The toll road will facilitate the connection between major Caribbean port cities of Barranquilla and Cartagena with interior departments near the Caribbean coast and further south to Medellín and Bogotá. The Project will enable increased vehicle speeds (additional 5 km per hour on average) that reduce travel times across the roadway, reduce vehicle operations costs, improve road safety, and enhance environmental protections for flooding and road settlement."
