The document highlights the achievements achieved thanks to the collaboration between the private sector, the National Government and departmental and municipal authorities, particularly in the execution of strategic projects in road infrastructure.

Among these advances, Two 5G projects stand out in full construction: the Buga-Buenaventura dual carriageway and the New Malla Vial del Valle del Cauca. In addition, a highly relevant 4G project is included: the Popayán-Santander dual carriageway in Quilichao.
