proyecto desarrollado de manera integral que representa su visión de la sostenibilidad, referente en Colombia.

Medellín, 15 de octubre 2021. Grupo Argos y Odinsa continúan avanzando en su propósito de aportar a la conectividad y competitividad del país. Este viernes, 15 de octubre, en presencia del señor Presidente de la República realizaron la entrega del 100% de las obras de Conexión Pacífico 2, en Antioquia, posicionándolo como uno de los primeros proyectos de Cuarta Generación (4G) en ser entregados en el país, un importante hito para el sector infraestructura y para la competitividad de Colombia.


La inauguración fue realizada por el presidente de la República Iván Duque Márquez, en un evento que contó con la ministra de Transporte, Ángela María Orozco; el presidente de la Agencia Nacional de Infraestructura, Manuel Felipe Gutiérrez; representantes de los socios del proyecto y el gerente de la concesión a cargo de su desarrollo; el gobernador de Antioquia y los alcaldes de los municipios del área de influencia.


Como resultado de esta exitosa Asociación Público-Privada, y luego de una inversión de 1,3 billones de pesos, las entidades ponen a disposición del país un corredor de 96,5 kilómetros que comprende los tramos entre Primavera-La Pintada y La Pintada-Bolombolo, en Antioquia, el cual, en conjunto con las concesiones que hacen parte de este corredor, reducirá en un 45% los tiempos de viaje y facilitará la conexión estratégica entre los departamentos del norte del país, Antioquia, el Eje Cafetero y el Pacífico, impulsando la competitividad y la reactivación.


“Nos complace enormemente hacerle entrega al país de un proyecto ejecutado de manera integral con los más altos estándares constructivos y de sostenibilidad convirtiéndolo en un ícono de la infraestructura en Colombia y un gran dinamizador económico y promotor de desarrollo y competitividad” afirmó Jorge Mario Velásquez, presidente de Grupo Argos.

Este proyecto 4G generó cerca de 3.500 empleos directos durante su etapa de construcción y más de 14.000 indirectos; realizó inversiones en programas sociales que superan los 1.500 millones de pesos y su desarrollo es referente en materia de gestión ambiental y social por su trabajo conjunto con las comunidades de los 11 municipios que conforman su área de influencia, destacándose el aporte a la construcción de tejido comunitario, el impulso a iniciativas productivas y turísticas y, el aporte a la generación de capacidades en el territorio por medio del desarrollo de diversos programas y alianzas.


“Pacífico 2 representa una transformación que genera valor social y ambiental. Es un proyecto que materializa nuestra visión y compromiso con la Sostenibilidad, que impulsa el desarrollo y la conectividad de las regiones dotando al país de la infraestructura requerida para fortalecer su competitividad”, indicó Mauricio Ossa, presidente de Odinsa.

A lo largo de su ejecución, Pacífico 2 ha entregado positivos resultados y ha alcanzado importantes logros desde diversas perspectivas: 

  • Financiación: incursión de entidades internacionales en financiación del programa 4G; quinto proyecto con desembolso y ganador del Premio Best Loan en los LatinFinance’s Project & Infrastructure Finance Awards, por su proceso de financiación y exitoso cierre financiero. 
  • Infraestructura: entregó la primera unidad funcional terminada de los proyectos 4G; uso de prefabricados para construcción en menor tiempo y aprovechamiento de recursos en obras icónicas como los Puentes Cauca que se eleva hasta 112 metros sobre el río Cauca. 
  • Gestión social: desarrollo permanente de programas en conjunto con las comunidades y grupos de interés. Entrega de un Centro de Control de Operaciones único en Colombia desarrollado para uso de la comunidad e impulso a la economía local y emprendimiento. 
  • Gestión ambiental: pionero en pasos de fauna y desarrollador del Centro de Investigación del Bosque Seco Tropical, para el cuidado y protección de la biodiversidad. 
  • Movilidad: primera concesión en el país con certificación en seguridad vial del Icontec y originador de la campaña de seguridad vial nacional Por la Vía Voy Seguro. 

Con la finalización de su construcción, el proyecto pasa a la etapa de operación y mantenimiento, durante la cual continuará trabajando, en conjunto con sus socios y sus grupos de interés, bajo los más altos estándares de sostenibilidad, incorporando la experiencia y las mejores prácticas para seguir promoviendo una movilidad segura; aportando al fortalecimiento social y económico; generando oportunidades de desarrollo y brindando una excelente experiencia a los usuarios que transitan por una de las regiones más representativas de Colombia.
