Colombia delays bid opening for La Línea tunnel roads
Colombian highway authority INVIAS pushed back the bid opening date for the three tenders to complete the secondary road network for the La Línea tunnel, which will connect the departments of Quindío and Tolima, until February 14 from January 25.
The three contracts, worth over 490bn pesos (US$151mn) in total, involve completing 15.5km of four lane roads divided into three sections, plus 24 secondary tunnels and 31 bridges, INVIAS said in a release.
One of the contracts, worth 145bn pesos, entails work on the Quindío side of the tunnel, while the other two – for 148bn and 162bn pesos – are for the Tolima sections.
INVIAS added that the country's fiscal policy council CONFIS authorized an additional 128bn pesos for the contract to complete the main La Línea tunnel on December 10. The contract was originally awarded for 225bn pesos in 2017 to Consorcio La Línea, and involves finishing the long-delayed 8.6km tunnel.
