Even the president himself stated that this work “It has always kept me awake at night”, and added that with it, Soacha could be recovered urbanistically, cut in two by the South Highway. In addition, the mega-construction could end segregation, says the president.

The proposal was made by former senator Gustavo Bolívar to solve two major problems in Bogotá: insecurity and mobility.
According to Bolívar, the idea is for this depressed person to go through the Farmhouse, Bosa and Soacha, considered the busiest road in Colombia.
(How to reduce traffic jams in Bogotá? This is proposed by Claudia López).
“Germán Vargas had already proposed an elevated solution for this section, but the viaducts divide the cities and cast shadows over them. Depressing the highway frees up space on the surface for bike paths and gardens,” described former senator Bolívar in a Twitter thread in which he explained what the project that he would present in the event of running as a candidate for the mayor of Bogotá consists of.

Why did I propose a tunnel that crosses Soacha from La Sevillana and with which you agree @petrogustavo
1. Insecurity and mobility are 2 of Btá’s 5 big problems.
Btá has 5 exits:
-North Freeway
-13TH Street
-Villavicencio road
-Via to the Calera
-South highway— Gustavo Bolívar (@GustavoBolivar) January 9, 2023
“If I run and I am elected, I will make these 2 tunnels, with the support of the Pte. If not, someone will do them”Gustavo Bolívar added in one of his trills.
The other tunnel to which he refers would unbottle the exit through La Calera.
According to Bolívar, the work would be similar to the one carried out on the M-30 highway in Madrid (Spain) that would be built by concession and financed with an electronic toll.
