Colombia’s National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) has awarded a team led by Sacyr the construction and concession contract for the Pasto-Rumichaca motorway.

The scheme, which is part of the country’s ‘Fourth Generation’ programme of new motorways will be carried out by the Estructura Plural SAC 4G consortium, led by Sacyr Concesiones (60%) and Herdoiza Crespo (40%). The contract has a planned investment of US$1,073m (£688m). Sacyr Concesiones will manage the motorway for 25 years.
