📋 Tender Overview
The work is temporarily suspended for technical reasons; The Regional Government of San Martin manages the improvement of the soil to guarantee the safety of the bridge.The Pongo Isla Bridge work is temporarily suspended due to technical limitations detected in the foundation land, a situation that requires specialized treatment before continuing with the execution of the infrastructure.
During the development of the works, the contractor company and the supervision team identified unforeseen conditions in the bearing capacity of the soil, particularly in the area where the foundation of the bridge abutments is planned. These observations led to stopping work as a preventive measure, in order to avoid future structural risks.
Faced with this scenario, the Regional Government of San Martin, within the framework of its functions of control and quality assurance of public works, ordered the carrying out of complementary technical tests that would allow a more precise evaluation of the real characteristics of the land.
The specialized studies, whose results have already been issued, conclude that it is necessary to improve the foundation ground to ensure the stability, durability and safety of the bridge. This intervention is key to guaranteeing a reliable infrastructure in accordance with current technical regulations.
The project is in a stage of preparing the technical and administrative documentation, a process that will support the costs associated with the improvement of the foundation and make its execution feasible in accordance with established procedures.
If there are no administrative setbacks, the restart of the work is scheduled for the fortnight of February 2026. With this measure, the Regional Government of San Martin ratifies its focus on the execution of responsible and safe works, prioritizing the quality of the infrastructure and the benefit of the population of Bajo Huallaga.
