    Construction of a new highway in Colombia is expected to cost US$773 million. The road will link Barrancabermeja in Santander Department with Puerto Salgar in Cundinamarca Department.
Although the project won final approval in late 2022, construction will commence in 2024. The project is named the 5G Troncal Magdalena road concession. This forms part of Colombia’s massive 5G road expansion programme.
