We have begun the improvement and rehabilitation of our Colombian P3 Highway Buenaventura-Loboguerrero-Buga with the execution of Functional Unit (UF) 21, the section of road closest to Buga. The works include the construction of a second carriageway and the improvement of the existing one, as well as the construction of a 7.5 km bicycle lane. Moreover, we are operating and maintaining the entire 128 km of the road corridor.
Buenaventura-Loboguerrero-Buga Highway: UFs division
The route is divided into sections or unidades funcionales (UF) according to the works required. The UF21, which accounts for a bit more than 2 km, begins in the city of Guadalajara de Buga and ends near the Laguna de Sonso Nature Reserve, the largest in the region. We have considered this fact when designing the layout of the second carriageway of the UF21. For this purpose, the dimensions of the central separator were determined in a way that minimizes the impact on the tree species located along the roadway. Moreover, we are creating a 7.5-km bicycle lane that will continue up to UF 19, enhancing a healthy lifestyle for local community. These woks will offer greater safety and comfort to all the road users.
In our Buenaventura-Loboguerrero-Buga Highway we generate a positive impact on the area’s economic and human development. As an example, we are creating approximately 6,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as carrying out several initiatives, such as training sessions for more than 250 women or providing water filters so more than 5,000 students have access to drinkable water.
