📋 Tender Overview
Next week, the Regional Government of Arequipa will restart construction work on the Arequipa-La Joya bridge, a large-scale road project that will strengthen connectivity between the city and the La Joya district.
The work will be carried out by the company Ingenieros y Construcciones Maximo S.A.C., winner of the selection process for the execution of the balance of work, with an investment of 5 million 166 thousand 327.50 soles.
The regional manager of Infrastructure, Fabian Enriquez, reported that the company will execute the remaining 8% of the physical works necessary to complete this project, considered the main component of the Arequipa-La Joya highway, promoted by the Regional Government of Arequipa.
Among the pending works are the pouring of the upper slab, the installation of jersey-type concrete barriers, the placement of the asphalt layer on the bridge, the enabling of entry and exit accesses, as well as the corresponding road signage.
It should be noted that the balance of work, initially estimated at approximately 8 million soles, was finally approved for a lower amount, evidencing an effort to optimize the use of public resources.
This project faced various difficulties since its formulation, including deficiencies in the technical file and additional requests not supported by the previous contracting company, which caused delays for several years. However, thanks to the technical decisions adopted by the current regional management, these obstacles have been overcome and the work is moving towards completion.
The Arequipa-La Joya bridge is a strategic infrastructure for the region, since it will reduce travel times, improve road connectivity and strengthen economic and social integration between the white city and the La Joya district.
