Colombia continues to advance various infrastructure and rural development initiatives. Early efforts focused on educational and agricultural expansion, such as the construction of new modules at the Universidad Industrial de Santander y de la Paz (UNIPAZ) campus and the ‘Colombia Sostenible’ program for small-scale producers. Recent progress at the UNIPAZ campus in Barrancabermeja shows the expansion project has reached 16.5% completion. This approximately 26 billion peso investment includes a clinic module and a classroom building, with delivery expected between May and June 2027. In the rural sector, the ‘Colombia Sostenible’ program is scaling up through the Fondo Colombia en Paz, which has secured US$135 million in international cooperation. This funding includes US$100 million from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and US$35 million from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The second stage, ‘Colombia Sostenible Avanza: Paisajes Sostenibles,’ aims to integrate income generation, rural productivity, and environmental conservation for small-scale producers. Transportation projects have seen significant movement. In Buenaventura, construction of an internal alternative road has entered a new phase involving the demolition of houses to accommodate a 12-kilometer dual carriageway and a 10-hectare logistics yard. Additionally, Mayor Ligia del Carmen Córdoba announced that the district will not implement previously outlined vehicle circulation charges, prioritizing port connectivity and earthquake-damaged road repairs. In Pasto, the Ministry of Culture authorized a mixed-use intervention for Calle 18, a 5,000 million peso project slated to begin after the 2027 Carnival of Blacks and Whites. In the Bolívar department, the Ministry of Transport and Invías are in phase 3 of a project to connect the north and south of the region. In the Bogotá metropolitan area, the Avenida 68 TransMilenio trunk is over 88% complete. Recent developments in Soacha include the advancement of a 3.82-kilometer aerial cable system designed to connect Ciudadela Sucre and Altos de Cazucá with the Terreros TransMilenio station, aiming to reduce travel times to between 14 and 16 minutes. The 22 billion peso Ciclopuente Tibanica project is also underway to link Terreros Avenue with Alameda El Porvenir. Regarding major highway expansions, construction has officially begun on the 1.8 trillion COP expansion of the Autopista Norte in Bogotá, a project expected to reach completion by 2031. This includes the Accesos Norte II project to expand the highway between streets 191 and 245.
