Project scope and objective
The Troncal del Magdalena II project (the “Project) is the fourth project of the fifth generation (“5G”) concession program led by the Government of Colombia through its National Infrastructure Agency (“ANI”). The Project is being executed by Autopista del Rio Grande S.A.S. (the “Concessionaire” or the “Client”), formed by KMA Construcciones S.A. (50%) and Ortiz Construcciones y Proyectos S.A. (50%).
The Project considers the financing, construction, improvement, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the Sabana de Torres–Curumaní road (the “Corridor”), which is 272 km long and joins the towns of Sabana de Torres, located in the Department of Santander, with Curumaní, located in the Department of Cesar, running through a small portion of the Department of Norte de Santander.
The Project is currently in pre-construction phase and is estimated to start construction by the end of 2023, during forty-seven (47) months. Afterwards, it will enter in operations phase for a term of 25 years, measured from concession start date (December 01, 2022)
The costs of the Project are estimated at approximately US$550 million and will be financed through a bi-currency miniperm (COP/US$) of up to 8 years, which will be refinanced once the Project is close to entering operation phase. Under the proposed financing, IDB Invest will lend up to COP 250,000 million within the less liquid local currency tranche, helping to mobilize resources from local banks.

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.
