Three new booths will be installed on the roads of the department, to recover 500 kilometers of road network. Although the administration assured that Cundinamarqueses will have a special rate, they expressed their disagreement. How to access to the benefits?
From Wednesday, February 10, traveling through the roads of Cundinamarca will be more expensive. As of that date, three new tolls will come into operation that, according to the government, are part of the ‘Plan 500 in Cundinamarca’, whose objective is to collect resources to recover 500 kilometers of roads. In total, the initiative will be financed with five collection points, of which two are already operating.

Thus, the three tolls that will come into operation will be the following:
- Pacho booth: Located on the road between Zipaquirá and La Palma. This will be the first toll that will open on February 10.
- La Balsa Booth: Located between the Via de Ubaté and Villapinzón. It will rule from next Friday, February 12.
- Grinder shed: It will operate in Vía Guasca – Gachetá – Ubalá – Gachalá (Troncal del Guavio). It will take effect from Monday, February 15.
These booths will join two others that already exist, such as San Miguel, located on the road that leads from Sibaté to Fusagasugá, and Nuevo Salto, on the road that leads from Salto del Tequendama to El Colegio.

Although the strategy has a clear objective, the inhabitants of the department expressed their annoyance, since many of them have to move through these routes on a daily basis. However, the departmental administration assured that there will be a special rate for cars, camper vans and trucks from the surrounding municipalities, as long as they comply with the requirements established by the Government.
“Rate 1, which is the rate for campers and trucks, will cost $ 7,500. But for residents of the area of influence of our roads and who are permanent users of the corridors, they will not have a charge for the first year of operation of our booths”Stressed Nancy Valbuena, manager of the Cundinamarca Institute of Infrastructure and Concessions (ICCU).
In the case of category II vehicles, that is, passenger transport, tolls will cost $ 1,500, while heavy transport (categories III, IV and V) will have a rate between $ 24,800 and $ 45,400.
