The tender process has been extended for three highway concession packages in Colombia, according to Business News Americas. The country's national infrastructure agency (ANI) has extended the bid deadlines for the Pacífico 2 (Bolombolo-La Pintada), Pacífico 3 (La Pintada-La Virginia) and Río Magdalena 2 (Remedios-Puerto Berrío) projects. The three highway concessions are worth a total of US$1.2 billion and form part of Colombia’s Autopistas para la Prosperidad highway programme. ANI opted to delay the tenders following requests from various interested parties. There are six highway concessions being tendered for in Colombia's Autopistas para la Prosperidad programme, which involves the construction of some 838km of highways, 63km of bridges and 90km of tunnels. One of these concessions, Conexión Pacífico 1, has already received bids from two out of the 10 prequalified consortia.
