📋 Tender Overview
Those who today pass through the Pumarejo bridge can do so in safe conditions, since its structure and operation are in optimal conditions despite the acts of vandalism to which it has been subjected.
Indeed, to guarantee the safe transit of users over this iconic bridge that connects to the Colombian Caribbean, the National Institute of Roads, Invías, through an agreement signed with the company Kyena (formerly APBAQ), in which it made contributions for value of $3,061 million, during 2021 and 2022, carried out the replacement and maintenance of the public lighting infrastructure of the bridge. Likewise, it replaced the wiring that had been stolen and carried out maintenance on the vandalized elements in the electrical substations of Palermo and Barranquilla.
Likewise, in 2022, 162 bolts of the hardware removed from the tie-rod protectors were reinstalled. It should be noted that the absence of these elements did not compromise, under any circumstances, the safety of the structure.
Finally, the entity reports that, in 2022, it installed ten (10) video surveillance points specially designed for the bridge considering the characteristics of its structure. Currently, Pumarejo has permanent private surveillance in which resources of more than $1,586 million have been invested, for the 2022 and 2023 periods.
Through these works, the Government of Change highlights the importance of preserving the road infrastructure in order to guarantee the safety of users in the different regions of the country.
