📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through Provías Nacional, will launch the call for the execution of the project 'Construction of the Santa Rosa Bridge, accesses, roundabout and overpass', under the modality of Works for Taxes (OxI).
The MTC and the Agency for the Promotion of Private Investment (Proinversión) presented the project, which was aimed at private companies, with the aim of encouraging and inviting them to participate in this second call for the project. This year, it is planned to grant the good pro and sign the investment agreement, which has an estimated start date of work in 2024.
"This work will benefit 30 million passengers who will arrive at the renovated airport every year, in addition to the residents of Callao, as it will contribute to reducing traffic congestion in the area, facilitating traffic on the access and exit roads to the country's main air terminal," said Minister Raúl Pérez Reyes.
The head of the MTC also stressed that this bridge will connect with the Santa Rosa Expressway and Morales Duarez Avenue. The investment amount amounts to S/ 346 million, which includes the construction of all the components of the project. Once completed, it will provide adequate conditions of transitability in the access to the airport, allowing a better integration with the development of air transport.
As for the riparian defenses, the project includes works that consist of the construction of slope structures, platforms, bridges and other road elements to avoid the effects of erosion of the waters of the Rimac River.
Design of the future Santa Rosa Expressway presented
The minister also announced the final design of the future Santa Rosa Expressway, a work carried out by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) that will optimize the entry and exit of vehicles to the Jorge Chávez International Airport.
The infrastructure, which complements the modernization of the country's main air facility, will strengthen the integration between Callao and Lima, as new tourist routes will be created to the country's first port.
"This work ensures that vehicular traffic between the Costa Verde and the new terminal is fluid. It will improve the competitiveness of the city. In addition, the standard of living of the Chalacos will improve because the number of bus stops and bike lanes will be increased," said Minister Pérez Reyes.
It is a 3.7 km long elevated viaduct that will have connection points through six ramps and accesses on both sides. Two ramps will be located past the Saloom Oval, at the height of La Marina Avenue, and the other four, before and after Oscar R. Benavides Avenue. It will also have an underpass on Argentina Avenue, which will allow traffic in the direction of the port of Callao.
With this work, spaces and infrastructure will be increased in the districts of La Perla, Bellavista and Callao. Green areas will increase to more than 34 thousand m2; pedestrian crossings, more than 100; bus stops, more than 30; and SEU will optimize the extension of the bike lane.
The project also includes improving lighting along the entire length of the viaduct and implementing play, sports, leisure and commercial areas. In addition, anti-noise barriers will be placed on the side edges of the viaduct, which will reduce by up to 20% the sound generated by the passage of vehicles and the concentration of CO2. This provides better acoustic conditions to the residents of the surrounding areas and complies with environmental quality standards.
The execution of the Santa Rosa Expressway is in charge of Provías Nacional, with the technical assistance of PMO Vías.
