📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through Nacional Provias, begins preliminary works for the repair and reinforcement of the Punta Arenas bridge, located in km 754 of the Campanilla - Pizana route, in the town center of Shumanza, province of Mariscal Caceres, San Martin region.
As recalled, on March 12, this key structure for the connectivity of the area suffered an act of vandalism that compromised three of the four main cables of the anchor chamber of the suspension bridge. As a result, the bridge presents an inclination, which represents an imminent risk of collapse.
