Latin American infrastructure projects and maintenance
Overview
Infrastructure developments and maintenance issues continue across Latin America. In Colombia, Cormagdalena director Álvaro Redondo has presented a 970 billion peso project to structurally channel the Magdalena River. This initiative includes a 404 billion peso focus on the Barranquilla port access channel, aiming to stabilize the Bocas de Ceniza banks and construct a directional dike to reduce dredging needs by 40%, potentially doubling or tripling cargo movement by 2030.
Regional connectivity and modernization efforts remain active. In the municipality of Sonsón, a collaboration between Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) and the local government has provided 129 sections of piping to improve rural road infrastructure and water management. Aviation infrastructure is also expanding; the José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro has launched a 164 billion COP modernization plan to increase annual passenger capacity from 11 million to 17.5 million, with completion expected by April 2027. Additionally, the Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport in San Andrés is undergoing repairs to its air conditioning, elevators, and escalators to improve operational conditions.
These developments build on previous strategies to strengthen road corridors, modernize airport infrastructure, and enhance port access through multimodal connections.
