Note 1: The employment data reported in this report corresponds to different cutoff dates depending on the entity responsible for each project. For projects managed by the IDU, the cutoff date is July 20, 2026, according to the information available in the entity’s project portal. For projects managed by the EMB, the cutoff date is June 30, 2026 (PQRSD-S26-00889 dated July 15, 2026). For projects managed by the EFR, the cutoff date is June 30, 2026. For projects managed by the ANI, the dates vary by contract: ALO South Section with a cutoff date of April 30, 2026 (Supervisory Report No. 46, VEJ-501-2022, p. 180); North Access Roads Phase II, with a cutoff date of May 31, 2026 (Supervisory Report No. 48, VEJ-506-2022, p. 107); and Troncal de los Andes as of April 10, 2026 (Monthly Audit Report No. 109, ETSA-SIGA Consortium).

Note 2: Employment data refer only to contracts with the status “In Progress” and “Suspended,” in the construction and pre-construction phases.

Description

The Bogotá Chamber of Commerce monitors 31 infrastructure projects for mobility in Bogotá and the surrounding region, which involve 81 contracts at various stages of implementation: studies and design, feasibility, pre-feasibility, pre-construction, and construction. Here you can track the progress of the projects and their impact on job creation.

The “Percentage Completed” indicator reflects the physical progress of the contracts. “Total Completed” corresponds to the sum of the product of the percentage completed and the respective current value of each contract. The schedule variance corresponds to the difference between the percentage completed and the scheduled percentage: if the difference is negative, the project is behind schedule; if it is positive, the project is ahead of schedule.

The traffic light system established for monitoring assigns the color green to positive values, the color yellow to negative values between 0% and 5%, and the color red to values greater than 5%.

Note: Employment data includes only contracts in the In Progress, Expired, and Suspended statuses, in the construction and pre-construction phases. Excluded are the study and design, feasibility, comprehensive structuring, and pre-qualification phases, as well as contracts in the Completed status.
