📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through the Special Team in Charge of Reconstruction with Changes, reports that the construction of the San Juan de la Virgen bridge, located in the district of the same name, in the Tumbes region, is 85% complete.
As it is recalled, the aforementioned infrastructure was affected during the El Niño phenomenon of 2017. However, it is expected that it will soon be back in operation for the benefit of the more than 1300 residents of the district of San Juan de la Virgen, who will be able to enjoy a modern and safe road.
It is a 30-metre-long double-lane bridge, with strong concrete foundations, retaining walls and 96- and 70-metre accesses on both sides. The structure of the bridge consists of a battery of culverts measuring 5.25 meters by 4.10 meters per cell, with five cells, and an upper and lower slab, equipped with a nail structure to prevent undermining.
The San Juan de la Virgen bridge has an investment of S/ 9.6 million and is part of package 10 of works, which includes the construction of the Uña de Gato bridge and accesses.
It is important to note that the Ministry of Transport and Communications, through the General Directorate of Transport Programmes and Projects, is managing interventions in different parts of the country in response to the possible damage that could be caused by the El Niño phenomenon.
