📋 Tender Overview
In a joint work with the Ministry of Transport and the National Infrastructure Agency the National Institute of Roads INVAS has been carrying out emergency care work and studies and designs to guarantee the passability and safety of users on the Bogot road- Villavicencio. The development and competitiveness of the regions and therefore of the country are linked to road projects that we must keep running and as far as possible improve. For this road corridor one of the most important for the countrys economy these works guarantee the safe connectivity of the road while building the definitive solution always taking into account biosecurity protocols said the Minister of Transport Angela Mara Orozco Gmez.Currently INVAS has been carrying out studies and designs at three points on the Llano road. At kilometers 46 and 64 studies and designs were carried out with an investment of 1049 million to provide a solution aimed at reducing the degree of risk in the sector and guaranteeing the continuity of the cargo and passenger transport service. The construction of a central tunnel and the extension of the existing tunnels were defined for kilometer 46 and the construction of a new false tunnel for kilometer 64. At the moment resources are being sought to make way for the bidding process and achieve the execution of these works.At kilometer 58 the Colombian Society of Engineers carried out high-level specialized technical analyzes to provide a definitive solution to the existing instabilities in the sector. Based on the recommendations of these analyzes INVAS already has the most detailed technical environmental social and property studies and designs for the construction of a viaduct of approximately 600 meters in length.What the Colombian Society of Engineers study recommended is the construction of a viaduct with seismic-resistant and impactful technical conditions necessary to guarantee that the geological problem in that sector and the geomorphological hydrogeological and environmental conditions do not affect the condition of the structure and consequently safe mobility through that corridor assured the Director General of INVAS Juan Esteban Gil Chavarra. For the execution of these studies and designs the Institute has a budget of 1893 million and it is expected that the results will be delivered in the first half of 2021 to start with the construction of the viaduct during the year and finish the work in 18 months. .It is not the only measure that INVAS has taken to seek to maintain interconnectivity between the Eastern Plains and the center of the country. On the Caridad bridge located between kilometers 63 700 and 64 of the Bogot-Villavicencio highway after the reactivation of the infrastructure works since April 13 the structural repairs were completed as well as the stabilization of the upper and lower slopes. and the protection of piles 1 and 2 of the bridge. The work to reinforce this structure reached a value of 15000 million generated 164 jobs and benefited more than 4900 people.On the old road to the Llano on the other hand INVAS invested 374 million to carry out protection works on the right abutment of the Pipiralito bridge and it is expected to be completed in the next few days.Finally the structuring of a project is being carried out that seeks to determine the best alternative to guarantee the road connection between the municipalities of Guayabetal Cundinamarca and Acacas Meta which currently do not have the necessary continuity for optimum passability. These studies have a value of 375 million and will benefit 60000 inhabitants residing in the affected area.The national government remains committed to the Eastern Plains and their connectivity which is why INVAS will continue working on works that guarantee user mobility and a definitive solution.
