Toll fees to increase by 5.10% from January 16, 2026

Colombia's National Infrastructure Agency and Ministry of Transport announced that toll fees will rise by 5.10% starting January 16, 2026, based on last year's IPC variation as reported by Dane. Additionally, 15 tolls will see an extra increase due to the normalization process under Decree 050.

The general adjustment to toll fees reflects inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (IPC), which stood at 5.10% last year according to Dane data. This update will take effect on January 16, 2026, impacting all tolls nationwide in line with existing concession contracts.

Fifteen specific tolls will receive an additional hike tied to the normalization process outlined in Decree 050. These are El Placer, Cisneros, Aburrá, Machetá, El Carmen, La Pintada, Fusagasugá, Andes, Unisabana, Supía, Puerto Berrío, Boquerón I and II, Naranjal, and Pipiral. For Amagá and Laberinto tolls, a gradual percentage will be added to the IPC, linked to the delivery of functional units in their contracts.

In the IP Conexión Antioquia Bolívar project, tolls at La Apartada, Manguitos, Purgatorio, San Carlos, Cedros, Mata de Caña, and San Onofre will see an extra 2% on top of the IPC. Other adjustments may occur before the upcoming Friday, such as at Copacabana and Las Palmas in the Desarrollo Vial del Oriente de Medellín; Circasia, Corozal, Pavas, San Bernardo, Santágueda, and Tarapacá I and II between Armenia, Pereira, and Manizales; Turbaco Bayunca, Galapa, Gambote, Pasacaballos, and Sabanagrande in Autopistas del Caribe; and El Roble, Albarracín, and Tuta between Briceño, Tunja, and Sogamoso.

"It is important to note that these increases are applied in compliance with current contractual and regulatory frameworks, and they respond both to inflationary updates and to commitments arising from progress in the execution of concessioned projects," the authorities stated.
