Next week, a crucial meeting to unblock seven road works in eastern Antioquia
For next Thursday, May 14, a meeting has been scheduled between the mayors of eastern Antioquia and the top brass of the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) to unblock the future of seven road works considered essential for the development of that subregion.
TL;DR
- A meeting between eastern Antioquia mayors and the ANI is set for May 14 to resolve issues with seven vital road projects.
- The projects, totaling 121 billion pesos, are intended to improve mobility and safety in 23 municipalities.
- The ANI has reportedly decided not to sign an addendum to use toll surpluses for these works, citing the concession's expiration on July 31.
- The concessionaire, Devimed, disputes the expiration date and argues that the works can be completed within their timeframe.
- If the ANI's decision stands, the funds could be transferred to the National Treasury instead of being reinvested in regional infrastructure.
