Colombia's National Road Institute (Invias) has reported that engineering firm Enrique Davila Lozano (EDL) is carrying out the second phase of feasibility studies and designs for construction of the Conexion Pacifico-Orinoquia road.

The highway will link the Valle del Cauca department with the Orinoquia region.

Consortium Consorcio SMA-TEC 4 is compiling the inventory during the second phase.

Conexion Pacifico-Orinoquia will pass through Meta, Vichada, Guaviare, Casanare, Tolima, and Huila.

The first phase of the road's studies and designs were carried out in 2011 covering 270km and required $1.53 million of investment.

The second phase began last December and includes the La Herrera-Cruce Bruselas, Florida-La Herrera, Cruce Bruselas-Aipe, and Cruce Bruselas-Cruce Santa María corridors. It is scheduled for completion by the end of December 2017.
