Colombia govt urges metro concessionaire to speed up works amid delays

Colombian national and district authorities have asked the metro concessionaire to boost personnel on delayed fronts after Line 1 reached only 83.73% progress by end-September, below schedule. The request signals growing official concern over project slippage, though no revised timeline or penalties have been announced. This matters as metro delays affect Bogotá's public infrastructure commitments and could have political and fiscal implications.
