Invías to invest 9 billion pesos on Perimetral del Oriente maintenance

Since June 12 the 106.9-kilometer corridor has been under regional government and Invías control, which confirmed an initial 9 billion pesos investment for its upkeep.

The handover followed the early termination of a concession originally set to expire in 2039. An international arbitration forced the state to pay 1.3 trillion pesos and reclaim the road ahead of schedule.

Invías will handle the functional units between Choachí and Ubaque. The sections from Sopó to La Calera fall under the Cundinamarca governor’s office and La Calera mayor’s office.

As of December 19 2024 the concession showed 43.23 percent progress and total investment of 1.97 trillion pesos. CCI president Consuelo Araújo warned of risks that early reversion could pose to road quality and safety.
