Colombia's US$561 million Perimetral de Oriente de Cundinamarca4G highway concession package has received bids from four different consortia. Business News Amercas reports that this is the highest number of bidders that a 4G highway concession has received since the country’s national infrastructure agency, ANI, started receiving bids in April for its first wave of nine highway concessions.
