5G taking Colombia by storm

The first wave of Colombia’s 5G infrastructure concessions program will involve 12 tenders worth nearly 34tn pesos (US$8.4bn), and unlike its predecessor, will not be limited to highways but also include rail, dredging and airport concessions.
“We currently have 12 active infrastructure projects. The first tender that we launched was for the Cali Access-Palmira route. There are two waves, the first one has 12 projects and the second another 12,” a spokesperson from infrastructure agency ANI told BNamericas.
The 3.4tn-peso, 310km Cali Access-Palmira highway concession is one of six road projects in the first wave. The others are:
Bogotá northern access phase 2: 1.84tn pesos, 18km in total.
Western Longitudinal Avenue (ALO) south stretch: 1.07tn pesos, 23.5km.

And three airport concessions:
