Colombia Road Network

Page 1
Total road network of the country are approximately 203,000 kilometers, of this total approximately 48% is in flat terrain, 29% undulating and 23%
in mountainous terrain, About 18,000 km are primary, 44000 km of secondary and tertiary remaining. Most of the primary network has been given
in concessions, this contributes to the maintenance and improvement of the road network, the remainder is part of the Government and local
authorities; Secondary and tertiary networks are those with a high percentage of critical deterioration, lack of maintenance is the most important
shortcoming.

The bad state of the roads, the lack of direct routes to major destinations, insecurity by public order, poor road signage, high fuel costs and the
absence of adequate infrastructure, increased logistics costs of land transport.

The country is projected with the structuring of fourth generation roads, through highway concessions begun in 2014, higher quality roadways
which meet international standards and enhance connectivity, especially between centers of production and foreign trade sites.

Another major project is the route of the sun, this important work of infrastructure will use considerably for transit of goods and passengers
between Bogota - Region and the Caribbean Coast. And the Panamericana Way, this project will connect Venezuela to Panama, crossing the
main capitals of the Caribbean Coast and activating strategic sectors such as tourism and trade. This infrastructure work can be integrated with
regional airports and the concentration of logistics distribution activities.
