Buenaventura-Loboguerrero-Buga Highway

This project connects the cities of Buenaventura, Loboguerrero and Buga, located in the region of Valle del Cauca, in Colombia. Managed by the concessionaire Unión Vial Camino del Pacífico (100% Sacyr), this roadway is 128 km long, but it also has a second roadway that is divided along 118 km. 

With an associated investment of €800 million (COL$4.2 billion), this strategic asset in southwestern Colombia will improve transport connections from the country’s inland to Buenaventura port by reducing travel times, improving road safety and lower CO₂ emissions.

This project includes the adaptation works on a 155 km section, the rehabilitation works on a 15 km section, the improvement works on a 33.7 km section and the construction of an additional 35 km new second lane. The contract also comprises the maintenance and operation of 244 km in total, considering the divided roadway. 

The preoperational stage of the project lasts 5 years of which 1.5 years correspond to the preconstruction phase and 3.5 years to the construction phase. The total duration of the contract is 29 years. Scheduled activities include slope stabilization works, constructing two short tunnels (approximately 1.4 km in total) and updating the electric-mechanical equipment in the 17 pre-existing tunnels, which span 9.3 km.
