3 megaproyectos en Cartagena que tuvieron líos para avanzar en 2025
Este 2025 ha sido un año de impulso para la infraestructura en Cartagena. Con varios megaproyectos adjudicados y la activación de múltiples frentes de obra, hay grandes expectativas para lo que le espera a la ciudad en el próximo año.
TL;DR
- Restoration of the Canal del Dique ecosystems, a project aimed at flood mitigation and improved navigability, is stalled awaiting environmental permits from ANLA, with the Environmental Impact Study expected in the first half of 2026.
- Preliminary dredging work for the Canal del Dique project faced funding risks until the Ministry of Finance authorized necessary resources.
- The expansion of Rafael Núñez International Airport, awarded in 2023, encountered delays in 2025 due to community consultations with Crespo residents and disputes with the Mayor's Office, but major construction is expected to begin in January 2026.
- The Cartagena-Barranquilla Cargo Corridor project is in crisis due to ongoing disputes with local communities regarding the Turbaco toll, leading to repeated suspensions of toll collection for certain vehicles.
