📋 Tender Overview
The new bypass route will reduce travel time from 40 to 14 minutes and will allow heavy traffic to be diverted, decongesting the city, improving the connection between Chiclayo, Lambayeque and RequeThe Regional Government of Lambayeque announced important progress in the execution of the Northern Section of the new bypass road of the El Sol Highway, a project of more than 12 kilometers that extends from the Mocce oval to the detour towards San Jose and that promises to transform mobility in the north of the country. During a technical visit led by the regional governor, Jorge Perez Flores, the sustained progress of the works was confirmed, which already reached 75% completion.
The regional governor highlighted that this work represents a milestone in the road infrastructure of Lambayeque. What was not done in twelve years, could be done in just one year of work. Thanks to Covisol and all the entities involved, today we can say that these 12 kilometers can be traveled in just 14 minutes, he said. He also highlighted that the new road will allow the cities of Chiclayo, Lambayeque and Reque to be more efficiently integrated, where a new bridge will be built that will facilitate the diversion of heavy traffic to the bypass road, decongesting the urban area of Chiclayo.
Currently, the 12.8 kilometers of the section are being worked on, with 4 kilometers already primed and with the asphalting process underway. The work is progressing with four-inch asphalt work, which will allow four kilometers to be completed in November, four more in December and the last four in January. In parallel, two 30-meter bridges are being built in Lambayeque and the work of earthworks, drainage and adaptation of the road platform continues. If this pace is maintained, the work will be completed with all its finishes in March 2026, and will be delivered, according to Covisols schedule, no later than May of the same year.
During the supervision day, Perez Flores highlighted the work articulated with the Ministry of Transport and Communications, ENSA, EPSEL, the National Water Authority, the Ministry of Culture, the Property Release Office, the Users Board and the farmers of the area, whose commitment allowed the release of land and the adaptation of basic services without setbacks.
This section of the El Sol Highway, part of the National Road Network, will benefit thousands of citizens and productive sectors by improving integration between the northern regions, reducing logistics costs and boosting interprovincial trade. The Regional Government of Lambayeque reaffirms its commitment to promoting high-impact works that modernize infrastructure, promote development and improve the quality of life of the population.
