Ruta del Caribe II. Colombia
On 6 September 2021, the private initiative concession contract "Ruta del Caribe II" was signed between the ANI -Agencia Nacional de Infraestructuras de Colombia- and the joint venture "Estructura Plural Autopistas del Caribe", formed by Grupo Ortiz, KMA and Obresca. The Ruta del Caribe infrastructure runs between the cities of Cartagena -Department of Bolívar- and Barranquilla - Atlántico Department-. These are two of Colombia’s most industrialised cities, with two of the three of the country’s most important ports, along with two international airports. Although the main purpose of this infrastructure is to improve cargo transportation between the two cities, the corridor that it connects holds significant potential to boost tourism and commercial development at the regional, national and international levels.
