The program seeks that the Piuranos have a safer, accessible and efficient transport. The city will have a better infrastructure and a modern transit system that will directly benefit thousands of users, said Jorge Benavente, director of promotion of promotion investments.
Main interventions
The plan includes the installation of 70 intelligent traffic lights interconnected by fiber optics, a traffic control center, exclusive buse lanes and the improvement of 25 kilometers of roads. It also includes new whereabouts, signaling, universal accessibility and cyclovias, all under an approach to sustainability and adaptation to climate change.
In a complementary way, the Council approved the creation of the Integrated Transportation System of Piura (SIT Piura), which in its first stage will focus on three strategic axes: optimization of the transport service, improvement of road infrastructure and implementation of technical solutions for traffic management.
Trunk corridor with international support
Modernization is reinforced with the next start of the study of the Piura Troncal Corridor, financed with a donation from the European Union channeled by the KFW (German Development Bank). This project, which will be the backbone of urban transport in the city, will demand an approximate investment of S/ 350 million.
With these advances, the Provincial Municipality of Piura (MPP) ensures international financing and technical assistance to consolidate viable and sustainable projects, aimed at guaranteeing modern, safe and efficient transport for all Piuranos.
