The new road connection has wide platforms of five meters, an extension of about a kilometer of vehicular roads and eight meters of road, in addition to attributes such as LED lighting, a landscape proposal with high standards of urban design and road signs that facilitate the connectivity and configure it as an articulating axis for existing and future roads.

This project is in addition to the multiple investments of Grupo Argos in the region, such as the 2.4 kilometers of roads in Villa Carolina delivered in 2020 to Barranquilla; Boulevard Transversal 44 Park in which an investment of more than COP 2,3 billion was made in urban planning works and COP 540 million in the development of the park; the 24 hectares of land provided for the Miramar Urban Forest; and the construction of Carrera 65 – Vía al Lago, open to the public in 2019, with a total investment of more than COP 16 billion.

“Framed in our 2020-2023 Development Plan -For a New Puerto Colombia- we are working on the transformation of the municipality with high-impact works, which represent improvements in mobility and connectivity between important roads such as the Circunvalar de la Prosperidad and the Corredor Academic; and areas with a high population density such as the Villa Campestre sector. This new road that will connect the Circunvalar de la Prosperidad with the extension of Carrera 30 -section No. 1- and from the roundabout of Colegio San José to Avenida Tajamares -section No. 4- is the beginning of the integral solution of the mobility for one of the most developed urban sectors in the Municipality of Puerto Colombia.

We are convinced that the trust that has been generated from the public to the private will continue to produce results with great benefit for our community.”
Wilman Vargas – Mayor of Puerto Colombia
