Sources: 14. Developments: 2. Maintenance activities have been reported across various Colombian regions. In Bogotá and Soacha, the Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá (EAAB) scheduled water service suspensions between October 13 and October 15, 2026, for preventive repairs to distribution networks. These interruptions affected several neighborhoods in Engativá, Ciudad Bolívar, and various sectors of Soacha. In Boyacá, the National Institute of Roads (Invías) has expanded its focus on the Briceño–Tunja–Sogamoso (BTS) corridor. Invías Director Juan Camilo Ostos Romero announced an investment of approximately 1.5 trillion pesos for road projects. Ostos noted that while 115 kilometers of the BTS were returned to the state, the associated toll revenues were not, which necessitates the use of national resources for maintenance. In Medellín, the municipal government has launched a preventive maintenance plan for 15 underpasses to mitigate flood risks during the rainy season, involving drain cleaning and waste removal in areas such as Villanueva and Alpujarra. Additionally, in Eastern Antioquia, local mayors and business leaders are requesting the execution of eight strategic road works. They aim to utilize roughly 160 billion pesos from toll collection surpluses to address congestion and safety issues, specifically citing the Clínica Somer interchange and the El Cordobés pedestrian bridge. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-16: Colombia infrastructure: Regional road investments and maintenance updates Colombia reports diverse infrastructure updates: 1.5 trillion pesos for Boyacá roads, strategic works requested in Antioquia, flood prevention in Medellín, and a non-functional broadcast unit scandal at RTVC. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/infrastructure-maintenance-underway-in-boyac-and-medelln ### 2026-10-12: Bogotá and Soacha face water service suspensions The Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá announced water service suspensions in Bogotá and Soacha from October 13 to 15, 2026, for preventive maintenance and network repairs. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bogot-and-soacha-face-water-service-suspensions --- Cite as: Infrastructure maintenance and road investments in Colombia.
