📋 Tender Overview
Strategic project will improve connectivity between Callao and the new Jorge Chavez International AirportThe Ministry of Transportation and Communications, through Provias Nacional, began the deep foundation work for the Santa Rosa Bridge, one of the most important road infrastructure projects in the country, which will improve access to the new Jorge Chavez International Airport and optimize connectivity in the Callao region.
The Minister of Transport and Communications, Aldo Prieto Barrera, accompanied by the Executive Director of Provias Nacional, Claudia Davila Moscoso, together with the technical team of the PMO Vias, attended the beginning of the drilling of the piles that will support the main structure of the bridge, marking a new milestone in the execution of this strategic work.
The work, which began in May with the execution of preliminary activities for the construction of the bridge, includes the deep foundation, the construction of footings and abutments and the subsequent assembly of the metal structures.
There is a German technology hydraulic pile driver on site, designed for highly complex work and with the capacity to drill up to 71 meters deep. With this equipment, the drilling of the piles in the abutment located on the side of Morales Duarez Avenue began.
The foundation will have 32 reinforced concrete piles, distributed in 16 units for each abutment of the bridge. Each pile will have a diameter of 1.50 meters and will reach approximate depths of 22 meters in abutment 1 and 24 meters in abutment 2, located on the Jorge Chavez airport side.
During this phase, rigorous quality controls will be carried out to ensure that each pile meets the established technical and safety standards. Subsequently, specialized tests will be carried out to verify the stability of the foundation before continuing with the following construction stages.
The beginning of this phase represents a decisive advance for a work that will transform mobility in Callao. With these works, the Santa Rosa Bridge consolidates its development as a key infrastructure to provide modern, safe and efficient access to the countrys main airport and improve connectivity for thousands of citizens.
As recalled, the project is executed by Provias Nacional under the Government to Government (G2G) modality between the States of Peru and France, under the technical assistance of PMO Vias.
The intervention includes the construction of the main access bridge to the new air terminal, an overpass on Morales Duarez Avenue, two vehicular turning bridges, an interconnection bridge with Santa Rosa Avenue, riverside defenses on the Rimac River and a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, infrastructure that will contribute to safer, more efficient and sustainable mobility.
