The mayor of Lima, Renzo Reggiardo, today handed over the comprehensive rehabilitation and structural reinforcement works of the Conchan bridge, in the district of Lurin, an infrastructure that had not received an intervention of this magnitude since its construction in 1966.
With an investment of S/ 4.3 million, the work was carried out by the Municipality of Lima, through the Municipal Company for the Support of Strategic Projects (EMAPE), allowing the structural capacity of the bridge to be recovered, its useful life to be prolonged and the safety conditions to be improved for the more than 800,000 users who daily travel through this important road corridor towards the south of Metropolitan Lima.
Here there was an urgent need. They asked us to do something for the Conchan bridge because it was abandoned. We had a company that had a concession and that did absolutely nothing with its structures that were deteriorating. We recovered the roads with a lot of effort, said the mayor.
Renzo Reggiardo highlighted that, thanks to the recovery of the road administration, the commune was able to carry out various interventions to improve the road infrastructure. Now you can circulate freely on the Panamericana without paying a single cent. We decided to put a punch to this important work, dedicate resources and time to it, and finally today it is a reality, he said.
The work included the reconstruction of 12 structural columns, six in each abutment; the reinforcement of the footings through a post-tensioning system; the construction of new retaining walls; the reinforcement of the head beams and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the deck slab.
Likewise, the repair of the bridge joints was carried out, the construction of new approach slabs, the renovation of the pedestrian paths, the installation of new metal railings, a new asphalt layer and the improvement of the slopes with structural material, in order to guarantee a safer and more resistant infrastructure.
The mayor highlighted that this intervention is part of the extensive program of infrastructure works developed by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima.
We deserve to have a walkable city, a safe city and a decent city. We deserve to improve our quality of life and that is what drives us to continue doing our best to provide better services to the entire population, he stated.
Likewise, he recalled that during his administration historic investments were made in road infrastructure. We have invested approximately 4,000 million soles, a figure that Lima has never had before. There are more than 50 kilometers of new roads such as the Ramiro Priale, the Via Expresa Sur, the Via Expresa Norte and the Via Expresa Grau, among many others that today are at the service of the population, he indicated.
Mayor will coordinate prevention actions with the president-elect
In statements to the press, Renzo Reggiardo also reported that in the coming days he will hold a work day with the president-elect, Keiko Fujimori, to supervise the prevention actions carried out by the Municipality of Lima in response to the El Nino phenomenon alert.
We have a presentation with the president of the republic in the next few hours. We are doing a great job of clearing and cleaning the Chillon, Rimac and Lurin rivers. We have acquired 50 high-tonnage machinery that has allowed us to do great preventive work and that will guarantee us, and I announce this without any problem, that there will be no overflows, he said.
He added that the commune can put its operational capacity at the disposal of the Executive Branch to reinforce preventive work in the north of the country. We have offered the president to support her with all our human, logistical and operational resources to also intervene in the north, where normally the damage is greater, he said.
The municipal authority announced that together with the president they will inspect the humanitarian aid warehouse implemented by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. We are also going to visit our central humanitarian aid warehouses. We have one for each district of the capital and we have a central one in Lima Cercado. We want to take the president so she can see how well all this is organized and that it can be replicated throughout the country, he said.
