Overview

The tunnel is the second longest vehicular tunnel in Latin America, after the Tunel de la Línea, and is expected to be surpassed by the under-construction Toyo Tunnel, both of which are also in Colombia.

The entire project is made up of two tunnels—the main 8.2 km long tunnel and a shorter 774-metre (2,539 ft) long-tunnel—and nine viaducts. The initial phase, opened on August 15, 2019, comprises one two-lane tube carrying traffic in both directions. Its completion was delayed several times due mainly to leaks found during construction.[1] The total cost of the project was 1.1 trillion pesos.[1] A second tube is already under construction, after the completion of which each tube will carry two lanes of traffic in one direction.

The tunnel allows a travel time between José María Córdova International Airport and Medellín's city centre of around 45 minutes, compared to around 1 hour and 30 minutes via other toll-free itineraries around the mountains.
