The Colón Public Transport Corridor project in Hualpén, Chile, has reached approximately 90% completion. While the project has experienced a 17-month delay, causing local resident complaints regarding pedestrian movement, signage, and flooding, officials expect the section between Las Golondrinas and Los Copihues avenues to be delivered by the end of 2026.

Recent developments include the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism (Minvu) activating new lighting for junctions 1 and 2 of Section 4A, spanning from Campanario to the Las Golondrinas overpass. This $19.2 billion CLP project involves the installation of 12-meter vehicular poles and 5-meter pedestrian poles to improve commuter security. Additionally, work to remove CGE electrical poles was scheduled to begin in September.
