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.
