Via Sumapaz opens a new operations control center in Colombia
Vía Sumapaz, concessionaire of the Bogotá-Girardot corridor and member of the VINCI Highways network, has opened a new operations control center in Fusagasugá. Strategically located halfway along one of Colombia's busiest roads, this center marks a new stage in the modernization of operations, improving safety, traffic flow, and information for drivers.
The corridor's technological infrastructure has been completely modernized and now includes more than 150 km of optical fiber and an enhanced network of video surveillance cameras, emergency call boxes, and variable message signs displaying real-time information. Four new weather stations complete the system, enabling critical traffic conditions to be anticipated and reported.
From this center, teams manage all monitoring operations in real time and coordinate field interventions: roadside assistance, breakdown services, rescue, inspections, and maintenance. Each year, the concession manages nearly 35,000 assistance operations, or approximately 100 interventions per day, benefiting more than 17 million drivers who use the Bogotá-Girardot corridor.
The commissioning of this control center comes a few months after the completion of extension and modernization works carried out with VINCI Construction, marking Via Sumapaz's entry into full operation. Concrete environmental measures accompany the opening of the new operational center, including the gradual electrification of the fleet, the installation of LED lighting, and solar energy production.
