The construction work is being carried out by local contractor Promotora y Operadora de Infraestructura (Pinfra). The route will be managed through a 30-year concession package.

Pinfra will complete work on the route in stages, with a 21km stretch of the project due to be finished first. This will be followed by completion of a further 24km stretch of the route.

In all, the work is costing US$111.6 million.
