📋 Tender Overview
Measure will allow immediate actions to be carried out to guarantee the safety and continuity of land transportation in critical sections throughout the country.Lima, February 25, 2026. The Government of President Jose Maria Balcazar declared the land transportation service in sections of the National Road Network in emergency, in order to guarantee the safety of users, preserve the continuity of the service and adopt immediate interventions in the affected infrastructure.
Ministerial Resolution No. 098-2026-MTC/01.02, published in the Official Gazette El Peruano, is aimed at high-traffic national routes located in the regions of Arequipa, Ica and Piura-Tumbes, identified as critical sections by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), and responds to technical reports on the current state of road infrastructure that warned about risks of service interruption and impact on passenger safety.
The declaration of emergency authorizes PROVIAS NACIONAL to execute, directly or through contractors, the actions and interventions necessary to recover and maintain the passability and operability of the affected sections, without this implying an ordinary procedure that could affect the safety of users.
The ministerial regulation considers that hundreds of transport authorizations operate on these sections, with more than half a million users traveling weekly on these routes, so speed in addressing road contingencies is essential to avoid interruption of service and preserve public safety.
Within this framework, the competent authorities must report within a certain period on the actions adopted within the framework of the declaration of emergency, in order to guarantee monitoring and transparency in the implementation of the measures that ensure free transit and the protection of citizens.
The Government reaffirms that the protection of users, road safety and the continuity of the public land transport service constitute fundamental priorities, and that the actions adopted within the framework of the emergency seek to respond efficiently to the needs of the population.
