Buenaventura-Loboguerrero-Buga Highway

The Buga-Loboguerrero-Buenaventura concession project is located in the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia. Managed by the concessionaire Unión Vial Camino del Pacífico (100% Sacyr), this 128-Km concession has a second carriageway corridor 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 reducing 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 kms for the new second lane. The project includes the maintenance and operation of 244 road km in total. 

The preoperational stage of the project will last 5 years, and will comprise the pre-construction stage (1.5 years) and the construction stage (3.5 years). The total duration of the contract will be 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.
