📋 Tender Overview
The regional governor of Arequipa, Dr. Rohel Sanchez Sanchez, made a technical visit to the improvement and construction work of the Arequipa-La Joya Regional Road - La Molina Conectora Road, one of the most important road projects underway in the region, which currently registers 77% physical progress.
This intervention responds to the need to improve mobility and decongest access to the city, especially on the Evitamiento road, where more than 4,500 heavy vehicles circulate daily. The new road will allow a large part of that traffic to be redirected, speeding up the exit to La Joya and reducing vehicle overload in Cerro Colorado and surrounding districts.
The project contemplates the implementation of a new road of approximately one kilometer, which will connect directly to the La Joya bridge. The intervened section goes from the progressive km 17+1880 to km 18+820.
The work is executed under the Direct Administration modality, with a budget of S/ 45 million 444 thousand 359.82, and the following activities are carried out: excavation in highly hard fixed rock, formation of causeways for stabilization of the land, placement and formation of subbase and base, and final preparation of the land for asphalt.
Implementation of drainage and road safety works
During his supervision, the governor verified the operation of the machinery, the correct execution of the work and compliance with technical standards. Likewise, he ordered that the work move to a double work shift, with the objective of completing the project within the established deadline.
It has been arranged that the execution will be scheduled in a double shift to guarantee that the work is completed within the committed times, indicated the regional authority.
Complementary advances of the Arequipa-La Joya Regional Highway
The governor also reported on the status of the other components of the regional road system: component II - Twin Tunnel (Works for Taxes modality). This component is executed by the consortium made up of Interbank, Yura and Cerro Verde, represented by URBI Proyectos. The private parties committed to deliver the technical file in December of this year, allowing progress towards the physical execution stage.
Component III - Final section in charge of the MTC
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) will be responsible for this section. The Comptroller General of the Republic has already issued the final review report, and the MTC will begin the logistical process for the call, securing financing to complete the total connectivity of the road.
The Regional Government of Arequipa continues to carry out permanent supervision to guarantee the quality, safety and continuity of the works that directly impact regional mobility and productivity. The governor reaffirmed that this road is part of the network of road megaprojects that will transform connectivity in Arequipa and consolidate a modern transportation system at the service of thousands of citizens.
