📋 Tender Overview
Provias Nacional has been working with heavy machinery on three fronts of this important highway in Amazonas.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) announces that tomorrow, Monday, a high-level commission will arrive in Amazonas with the objective of discussing and evaluating the situation of the Chachapoyas-Balsas road and adopting technical solutions that allow reestablishing adequate conditions of passability and safety for users.
Likewise, it is reported that, through Provias Nacional, maintenance work has been intensified on the Chachapoyas - Achamaqui - Leymebamba - Balsas route, a strategic stretch for regional connectivity, tourism and the economic development of the area.
It should be noted that the current deterioration of this road was caused by the failure of the company in charge of maintaining the road, a situation that led to the termination of the contract last August. Given this, Provias Nacional has directly assumed the maintenance work under the direct administration modality, which has allowed the immediate deployment of machinery and technical personnel, guaranteeing a timely response from the Transition Government to address this problem.
Provias Nacional has activated three simultaneous work fronts along the 210 kilometers of intervention, deploying heavy machinery and specialized technical personnel to attend to the most critical points of the highway.
To optimize interventions, a strategic distribution of equipment has been arranged, prioritizing the cleaning of landslides, the removal of material and the conservation of the rolling surface, with the aim of guaranteeing safe traffic conditions.
On the Tingo front - Dv. Chachapoyas operates a complete pool of machinery consisting of a motor grader, a vibrating smooth roller and a tanker truck. The work focuses on scarifying, profiling and compacting the rolling surface, with a focus of intervention located at km 290 (Tingo).
Likewise, in the Nuevo Horizonte sector, teams have been concentrated to ensure the continuous flow of traffic, carrying out the immediate cleaning of landslides and the removal of material accumulated on the road. For these tasks there is a dump truck, a front loader and a backhoe.
In a complementary manner, in the Leymebamba sector and other critical points, a pneumatic tractor and two specialized crews have been incorporated to carry out superficial and deep patching work (potholes) on the entire rolling surface, addressing pre-existing damages and reinforcing the durability of the road.
