The Madden-Colón Highway (Autopista Alberto Motta) was a landmark design-build and operation project, spanning 43 kilometers between Madden and Quebrada López. This high-capacity corridor serves as a vital logistics link, requiring the integration of massive earthworks, complex drainage systems, and heavy-duty pavement structures across diverse terrain. The infrastructure includes a series of strategic bridges and specialized concrete paving designed to handle the high-volume transit demands of the Colón region, ensuring long-term durability and safety for national transportation.

The management of this project required a dual-focus approach, bridging high-level strategic planning with hands-on site execution. Within the planning department, the role involved developing sophisticated time-distance diagrams and master schedules to synchronize the 43-kilometer construction sequence, ensuring that cost and budget calculations remained aligned with physical progress. This technical oversight provided the baseline necessary to navigate the logistical complexities of a multi-phase highway build.

In the field, responsibilities shifted to the direct supervision of critical civil works, including bridge construction and the execution of the entire pavement lifecycle—from subbase preparation to final horizontal and vertical signage. This involved managing high-precision operations such as diamond grinding for quality improvement, supervising concrete batching plant logistics, and overseeing complex lifting operations for beams and piles. By developing specialized rigging plans and enforcing strict quality assurance protocols, the project ensured that the highway’s structural elements met rigorous engineering standards while maintaining a fast-track production pace.
