📋 Tender Overview
A team of 170 workers works in two shifts in the construction of the replacement of the right road of the Grau Bridge. This new road was built after the demolition of the old bridge which was affected by the El Nio Phenomenon and is located parallel to the twin bridge of the second lane of Puente Grau. When the works are finished the infrastructure will have four lanes again.The President of the Republic Martn Vizcarra and the Minister of Transport and Communications Carlos Estremadoyro supervised this work as well as the camp in sector 3 of the highway that connects Lambayeque and Piura and the Grau avenue overpass.The replacement of the right carriageway of the Grau Bridge 304 meters long will speed up vehicular traffic on the Panamericana Norte in the district of Piura. This work is part of the portfolio of projects of the Ministry of Transport and Communications MTC which make up the works of the Autopista del Sol managed by the Concesionaria Vial del Sol Covisol.The four lanes of the bridge will allow heavy cargo vehicles to move more quickly and safely. In addition the right road has a design that will allow the large flow of the Piura River to flow even if it is increased by the rains. Thus vehicular traffic will not be interrupted at any time of the year.Farmers in the area will be able to move their products carriers will carry the load that citizens need and families will continue to move to the surrounding cities to work study or do business among other activities.Improved roadSector 3 of the road that connects Lambayeque and Piura runs through the provinces of Sechura and Piura from the Cascajal River kilometer 910 of the Panamericana Norte to the Piura River kilometer 988 of the Panamericana Norte. In this area 18 new sewers will be built 40 will be replaced and another 9 will be maintained. The objective is that the rainwater and tributaries do not damage or interrupt vehicular traffic.In addition in this section about 18 kilometers of highway will be improved and the Sechura and Vicus bridges of 60 and 50 meters in length respectively will be built which will be located at kilometers 913 and 915 of the Panamericana Norte. Both roads will provide greater security for vehicular traffic.Work resumedLikewise work continues on the Grau avenue overpass the same one that when completed will allow us to get from kilometer 1000 of the Panamericana Norte to the center of Piura in 15 minutes. This will directly benefit families residing in the Polytechnic Units of Social Integration Upis Villa Hermosa Paredes Maceda and Ciudad del Sol in the October 26 district of the province of Piura.The direct beneficiaries also include small and medium-sized entrepreneurs who run chicken and pig farms in the area. And for those who want to get to the beaches of Paita from the center of Piura the Grau avenue overpass will allow them to do it in an hour.The bridge platform and its two entrances which make up the overpass have a total length of 663 meters. This route includes a bike path which will have a concrete wall to protect cyclists.There are 65 workers currently working placing the walls in the west side access in the east side excavation.These are three of the 11 works that the MTC executes on the Panamericana Norte one of the countrys most used roads in the logistics transport chain. The other eight are Puente Fortaleza in Lima Puente Huambacho in ncash the Vir and La Libertad bridges in the La Libertad region Puente Reque Evitamiento Chiclayo and Sector 1 in Lambayeque and Sector 2 between Lambayeque and Piura. These last two are routes that include other bridges generating altogether more than 2500 direct jobs in the area.Peru startsEarlier the Sondorillo district was visited in the Huancabamba province and later the Morropn province where the execution of the maintenance of 609 km of roads was coordinated with the mayors. As recalled through the Arranca Per program the Executive has allocated resources for up to S 165 million in favor of the seven provinces of Piura with the aim of improving the traffic conditions of 1863 km of neighborhood roads throughout the region .We see with satisfaction that 93 contracts of the 131 tendered are already in the physical execution stage generating thousands of jobs and that the missing sections will be added shortly which will bring benefits in the short and medium term but mainly the visit has allowed us to verify on the ground itself the impact it generates on the benefited populations said Minister Estremadoyro.
