📋 Tender Overview
The approval of the Additional Work Benefit (PAO) for more than S/ 3 million by the Comptroller General of the Republic, in September 2024, allowed the reactivation of the Arequipa-La Joya road (bridge component and accesses), which is currently 89% complete, so the start of operations is expected next July.
Within the framework of a policy of prevention and unblocking of works, the team of the Comptroller General in Arequipa verified the installation work of the pre-slabs on the bridge, which are about to be completed; as well as confirmed that in the first days of March the pouring of the concrete will begin. Subsequently, the asphalt of the viaduct will continue, which has an extension of 371 linear meters.
The bridge and access components of the Arequipa-La Joya highway have an updated budget of more than S/ 140 million, and the contractor has a deadline to deliver the work until July of this year, so the load tests would begin the same month.
The Comptroller Generals Office highlighted the fulfillment of the commitments by the government and the contractor, whose representatives committed to initiate the necessary actions for the reactivation of this work that had been paralyzed since March of last year.
As is known, the management of the Comptroller Generals Office promotes preventive control and provides support to public entities in the reactivation of paralyzed works with the purpose of benefiting Peruvians.
The bridge and accesses of the Arequipa-La Joya highway are a component of the road project that will reduce traffic and prevent the entry into the White City of cargo trucks, interprovincial buses and other vehicles that travel on the Pan-American Highway South from the regions of Puno, Cusco, Apurimac and Madre de Dios, bound for the port of Matarani or other cities such as Lima, Moquegua and Tacna.
