📋 Tender Overview
After the effects caused by the coastal El Niño phenomenon, this week the replacement of the Sechín bridge, in Casma, in the Ancash region, was 100% completed. The work, which will benefit more than 50 thousand people, required an approximate investment of S / 11.3 million.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through the concessionaire Autopista del Norte S.A.C. (Aunor), installed the final bridge, whose length is 20.8 meters and is located at km 376 of the Panamericana Norte, in the district of Casma. The accesses were also completed.
With this work, promoted by Minister Paola Lazarte, thousands of Peruvian farmers, fishermen, ranchers and citizens benefit, since it guarantees the land transit of heavy cargo vehicles that carry food products to supply the main markets of Peru.
Likewise, the transit of passengers who circulate daily through the national road network of the northern macroregion is ensured.
The concessionaire also completed the works of the riparian defense and the signaling of the new infrastructure. These activities are part of the Final Engineering Study of the bridge, in order to reinforce the safety conditions of pedestrians.
The Deputy Minister of Transport, Ismael Sutta, who will travel to the area in the coming days to supervise the infrastructure, explained that this work was necessary because terrestrial connectivity in Ancash is complicated by geography and climate.
"We will continue working to ensure the optimal functioning of the road infrastructure in favor of the safety of citizens and the passability of vehicles to continue with the economic activities of the area. In addition, the works of the riparian defense and the signaling of the new infrastructure are elementary to prevent any incident in case of rains, "he said.
