Project scope and objective
The Pamplona - Cúcuta corridor (the “Project”) is part of the fourth generation (“4G”) concessions program led by the Government of Colombia through the National Infrastructure Agency (“ANI”). The Project contemplates the financing, construction, improvement, rehabilitation and maintenance of a 62.00 km long road that connects the towns of Pamplona and Cúcuta (through the municipalities of Pamplona, Pamplonita, Chinácota, Bochalema and Los Patios), located in the department of Norte de Santander in Colombia, on the border with Venezuela. The concession contract, whose duration is 25 years, extendable up to 29 years, was awarded in June 2017 to Unión Vial Río Pamplonita S.A.S (“UVRP” or the “Concessionaire”).
The Project will enhance commercial competitivity and connectivity of northeastern Colombia with Venezuela and promote the economic and social development of the communities that live in the 9 municipalities under direct influence: Pamplona, Pamplonita, El Diamante, Chinacota, Bochalema, La Donjuana, Los Vados, Los Patios and Cúcuta. The ultimate goal of the Project is to transform the existing infrastructure into a world-class dual carriageway highway, optimizing travel time between the border with Venezuela and the city of Pamplona, and significantly improving the safety and comfort of the road users.
Construction activities of the Project began in August 2018. As of May 2022, civil works execution was close to 76% and estimated to be concluded by first half of 2023.
The Project was originally funded through a medium-term financing structure (commonly known as "Mini-Perm"). For this reason, it requires a refinancing, in which IDB Invest is expected to participate, helping to mobilize resources from investors in the capital markets.

Environmental and social review
IDB Invest conducts an environmental and social due diligence (ESDD) commensurate with the nature, scale, and stage of the project, and with its level of environmental and social risks and impacts. The ESDD will confirm the project E&S categorization and assess the project with respect to the client requirements in IDB Invest Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy. The results of the ESDD, including any identified gaps are described in the Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) provided below. For projects approved as of 2016, any gaps with respect to IDB Invest's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy at the time of the ESDD are addressed in the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) presented below, to comply with the date mentioned above.

Early disclosure
For projects with high environmental or social risk an Environmental and Social Strategy (ESS) is prepared early on during the project appraisal and prior to carrying out the environmental and social due diligence (ESDD). The ESS includes the initial E&S risk categorization and a brief description of potential Performance Standards applicable to the project. The ESS for this project is available below. Together with the ESS, IDB Invest also provides access to the client’s preliminary E&S documents that will be reviewed during the ESDD. The client E&S documents for this project can be found under the “CLIENT FILES” section below. Once the environmental and social due diligence is completed, an Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) for the Project will be published on this page.
