📋 Tender Overview
Minister Aldo Prieto supervised the start of drilling the piles that will support the future definitive access to the new Jorge Chavez International Airport.The Santa Rosa Bridge project reached a new milestone with the beginning of the deep foundation work that will support the main structure of the bridge, a key stage for the construction of the future definitive access road to the new Jorge Chavez International Airport.
The Minister of Transportation and Communications, Aldo Prieto Barrera, supervised the start of drilling for the installation of the piles and highlighted that this work represents one of the most important investments to strengthen the countrys road infrastructure, by improving connectivity between Lima and Callao and facilitating safe and efficient access to Perus main air terminal.
The work includes the construction of 32 reinforced concrete piles, up to 24 meters deep, which will serve as a base for the bridge abutments, guaranteeing its stability and resistance. For these works, a BAUER BG 28 hydraulic drilling rig is used, high-tech equipment designed to execute works of great complexity and technical demand.
During the supervision, the head of the MTC indicated that an investment as large as was made with the new airport will finally culminate with its definitive accesses as appropriate and deserved. Likewise, he reaffirmed the sectors commitment to the timely execution of an infrastructure that will transform mobility in the countrys first port and improve the experience of millions of passengers who will use the new airport.
The works are carried out in parallel to the detour plan implemented on Morales Duarez Avenue, which allows vehicle and pedestrian circulation to be maintained in safe conditions while the works continue.
The Santa Rosa Bridge is part of a modern road interchange that also includes a 65-meter span bridge, new access roads, an overpass on Morales Duarez Avenue, riverside defense works on the Rimac River and urban landscaping spaces. This set of interventions will allow optimizing vehicular flow to the airport, decongesting the entry roads to Callao and strengthening integration with the main routes of Metropolitan Lima.
The project is executed by Provias Nacional, under the Government-to-Government modality with France through PMO Vias, a scheme that incorporates high international standards of management and execution of public infrastructure.
With the progress of the foundation, the Santa Rosa Bridge continues to consolidate itself as a strategic work for the development of the country. In addition to becoming the definitive access to the new Jorge Chavez International Airport, it will improve connectivity between Lima and Callao, streamline the transportation of passengers and goods, strengthen national logistics competitiveness and offer a modern, safe and efficient infrastructure at the service of millions of Peruvians.
