The corridor, reported to be the busiest in Colombia, is currently operated by concessionaire Autopista Bogotá Girardot (CABG), whose concession is due to end in September.
A second PPP by the China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC), which could be joined by Mexico's Cemex, proposes the US$4.4 million construction of a ten kilometre expressway viaduct linking Soacha, a city located on the western outskirts of Bogotá, with the Ruta 68 highway.
