Abstract

En el presente documento se realiza un estudio acerca del desarrollo en la infraestructura vial que Colombia experimentó durante el periodo comprendido de 1945 hasta 1970. Mediante el análisis de fuentes primarias recuperadas del Archivo General de la Nación se pretende dar solución al siguiente interrogante: ¿De qué manera los obstáculos legislativos y de financiamiento frenaron el desarrollo en las carreteras como vías de comunicación en Colombia durante el periodo 1945 – 1970? Finalmente, se pretende llegar a la conclusión de que, la existencia de una legislación ineficiente y la falta de recursos para el financiamiento de las obras, afectaron negativamente el desarrollo de la infraestructura vial del país durante el periodo estudiado y condicionaron nocivamente su progreso actual. ****** In this document we investigated about the development of Colombia’s road infrastructure during the period between 1945 and 1970. Throughout the analysis of primary sources recovered from the General Archive of the Nation we attempt to give an answer to the following question: In what way the legislative and financing obstacles stopped the development in roads as communication routes in Colombia from 1945 to 1970? We conclude that the existence of an inefficient legislation and the lack of resources for the financing of the works, affected negatively the development of the country road infrastructure during the period studied, and that these conditioned its actual progress.
