This will allow traffic in both directions and will have pedestrian walkways that guarantee safety for the transit of people.This road infrastructure work commits an investment of close to S 22 million and will guarantee connectivity in the province of Islay connecting the Panamericana Sur highway with the Costanera highway and directly benefiting more than 74 thousand Arequipa residents he explained the holder of the MTC.Previously Minister Estremadoyro supervised the works being carried out on the Matarani-Punta de Bombn stretch of the Costanera highway a road that will help increase the movement of goods from Tacna to the north and vice versa.He also attended a group of residents of the district of Punta de Bombn to whom he ratified his commitment to specify the construction of a safe access to the Costanera highway through the construction of a bypass.
