¿Qué pasará con el cobro del peaje de Turbaco en el 2026?
La más reciente suspensión de cobro en el peaje de Turbaco para los vehículos de categorías I y II (automóviles, camperos, camionetas, microbuses, buses y busetas) está a punto de vencerse nuevamente.
TL;DR
- The suspension of toll collection at Turbaco for categories I and II vehicles will expire on December 31, 2025.
- The suspension was intended to find long-term solutions for the toll station, part of the Cartagena-Barranquilla highway project.
- Local communities have protested the toll, citing economic and social inconvenience, which has hindered revenue collection for project financing.
- The National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) is holding technical meetings with residents and the concessionaire to make a final decision.
- The Cartagena-Barranquilla highway project, awarded in 2021, was to be funded by six existing toll stations and one new one.
- Community opposition has prevented project financing, and a differential toll rate was not accepted in Turbaco.
- The concessionaire has filed a lawsuit, and an international tribunal is expected to issue a decision next year.
- The project involves an investment of $4.3 trillion for road construction, upgrades, and maintenance between Cartagena and Barranquilla.
- The concession contract has a 35-year term, including pre-construction, construction, and operation/maintenance phases.
