📋 Tender Overview
The project will be developed under the public-private partnership modality and will mean an estimated investment of US$ 894 million. As part of its commitment to improve the transit of people and cargo in the national territory, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) is promoting the project Creation of the Avoidance Route for the city of Cusco. This initiative, which will be developed under the public-private partnership modality, will be 14.11 km long and will benefit more than one million inhabitants. This was reported by Minister Raul Perez Reyes.
The modern Via de Evitamiento, which will involve an estimated investment of US$894 million, will have access ramps, a 4 km twin tunnel, viaducts, bridges and two road interchanges. One of them will be located between the Wanchaq Land Terminal and the Pachacutec oval; the other will be located near the Miguel Grau oval. The objective of this ambitious project, promoted by the MTC through the General Directorate of Transportation Programs and Projects, is to provide an alternative route that crosses the city of Cusco. This will contribute to the reorganization of urban traffic, reduce travel times and facilitate the arrival of local products to new markets.
The work will cover the districts of San Sebastian, Wanchaq, Santiago, Cusco and Poroy, which are part of the Longitudinal Highway of the Sierra Sur. The sections include Agua Buena Bridge - Terrestrial Terminal - Ovalo Miguel Grau - Poroy, heading to the new Chinchero airport and/or the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Urubamba). It is important to note that the MTC entrusted the Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) with the process of searching for a top-level bidder to be in charge of the construction, maintenance and operation of this important work for Cusco. The project is one of the 22 that the sector commissioned the Agency, which are divided into 20 roads and two ports. In this way, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications continues to promote the execution of quality road infrastructure throughout the country, with the aim of improving walkability and development opportunities for citizens.
