📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Government of Arequipa (GRA), led by Governor Dr. Rohel Sanchez Sanchez, has been coordinating actions with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) and the southern road concessionaire Covisur to begin the strategic connection of the Nueva Molina highway with the Panamericana Sur, a key intervention that will allow the Arequipa-La Joya bridge to become operational and significantly improve regional connectivity.
With this objective, the regional governor held a technical meeting in the intervention area, in which the general manager of the GRA, Berly Gonzales Arias, as well as the general director of Transportation Programs and Projects of the MTC, Gabriela Lara, participated, along with representatives of Covisur. During the meeting, the technical conditions were evaluated and the necessary steps were defined to execute this long-awaited road solution.
As a result of inter-institutional coordination, the completion of two Y-shaped roads was agreed, with an extension of more than 600 meters each, which will allow the direct connection between the Panamericana Sur and the Nueva Molina road, a work that presents a physical progress of 91.18%, an investment of more than S/ 7 million and which is part of the Arequipa-La Joya Regional Road executed by the GRA.
Likewise, in order to guarantee road safety and prevent accidents, the implementation of preventive and informative signage on the national route, speed bumps, a battery of rumble strips, as well as the installation of traffic lights at both entrances to the junction has been planned, considering that more than 11 thousand vehicles entering and leaving the city of Arequipa will travel through this road daily.
The general manager of the GRA reported that all the technical measures will be delivered next week to the MTC, so that, through Provias, they can be forwarded to the Covisur concessionaire and the corresponding execution process can begin. In addition, it was announced that in the coming weeks an agreement will be signed between the Regional Government of Arequipa and Covisur for the construction of an oval at the junction point, an infrastructure that will improve vehicle flow and decongest traffic in this important access to the White City.
This strategic intervention, promoted by the management of Governor Rohel Sanchez Sanchez, represents a comprehensive and definitive solution to optimize traffic, strengthen road integration in the south of the country and highlight one of the most important works for the logistical and economic development of Arequipa.
