📋 Tender Overview
An event similar to the El Nio phenomenon that occurred in 2017 will no longer isolate the communities of Lambayeque and Piura bordering the North Pan-American Highway. The rehabilitation of this road and the construction of 13 bridges carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Communications MTC guarantee that vehicular traffic is not interrupted at any time of the year even if there are heavy rains or rivers and streams overflow. The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo Terrones arrived at the Naylamp bridge Mrrope district to start the rehabilitation works of the Lambayeque-Piura section of the Panamericana Norte which are part of the Autopista del Sol concession highway. Along this route 13 bridges were built. These are Naylamp 180.5 m El Valle 15.45 m Chinguirito 80.5 m Caa Brava 80.5 m Huerequeque 80.5 m Garzas 80.5 m Niacola 80.5 m Rachia 80.5 m and Loche 15.4 m. El Panal 15.4 m Churre 15 m Sechura 60 m and Vicus 50 m were also built. In addition 71 kilometers of the highway were rehabilitated. The route has sectors in which the height of the road has been raised ground to prevent it from being covered by water from streams and rivers. Nine major structures and 58 culverts were built to drain rainwater rivers and streams and thus avoid future damage to the road infrastructure. With the same objective 180 sewers were replaced and maintenance was provided to another 53. The construction of the 13 bridges and the improvements in the Lambayeque-Piura section boost the economy of the north of the country as they provide optimal conditions for export and import activities reduce travel times for the transfer of passengers and products and provide security residents of surrounding communities. The MTC as the grantor of the concession route commissioned the Vial del Sol Concessionaire to carry out the rehabilitation works in sectors 1 2 and 3 of the Lambayeque-Piura section that were affected by the El Nio phenomenon that occurred in 2017 . The works were carried out with resources transferred by the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes. The General Directorate of Programs and Projects of the MTC monitored the execution of the works.
