📋 Tender Overview
The reconstruction work of the El Porton bridge, in the district of La Huaca (Paita), already registers an advance of more than 14%, which will benefit more than 12,950 inhabitants of the provinces of Paita and Sullana. The work includes the execution of two bridges located in the same area of the town center El Portón.
The Regional Directorate of Transport, in charge of these works, has been investing more than 5 million 187 thousand 986 soles, which have been prioritized to meet the request of the population, given the risk of accidents due to the poor state of the old bridge.
The work includes the complete renovation of the bridge, with the installation of sewers so that rainwater and the avenues of the streams flow, avoiding the isolation of these areas, and the paralysis of export products that leave from the port of Paita.
It should be noted that Governor Luis Neyra León has been giving priority to this work because he knows the importance it has for the population that, in rainy seasons, is at risk of isolation, and is also vital for exports that leave through the port of Paita.
"From the first moment we committed ourselves to connect all the peoples of our region and we are complying. This work was prioritized because we know that there were many unfortunate accidents and because all exports pass through this route, which does not have the necessary infrastructure, "said the regional authority.
Félix Vílchez Carrera, resident of the work, indicated that after the complete demolition of the old bridge they have proceeded with the massive excavation with machinery, which is already 90%, and this week it ends. "With the rains there are very abundant streams and with the dragging of the material here there was no pass, with this bridge this problem will be solved, also the population had concern about accidents. It is for the benefit of the entire Piura region, because Paita is an export and import port, traffic is very fluid. The work is of great importance," he concluded.
