📋 Tender Overview
With an investment of more than 16 million soles, the work will benefit more than 20 thousand residents and will improve safe access to the Moyobamba and Tarapoto markets.The Regional Government of San Martin (Goresam) reaffirms its commitment to the security, development and integration of rural communities by promoting the construction of the new Betania bridge, a long-awaited work that responds to the need for modern and safe infrastructure for crossing the Mayo River. In this framework, it was announced that the process of granting the award will take place on January 28, marking a decisive milestone for the start of this important work of regional connectivity.
The urgency of this project is based on the conditions of the current wooden bridge, whose age and fragility represent a permanent risk for the population, especially during the rainy season, when the increase in the rivers flow endangers the passability and safety of users. Faced with this reality, Goresam, through the Huallaga Central and Bajo Mayo Special Project (PEHCBM), has prioritized the execution of a definitive solution that guarantees safe and continuous transit.
This announcement was shared during an information meeting held in the Betania town center, a space that allowed the status of the project, its deadlines and technical scope to be explained in a clear and transparent manner, with the active participation of the population and local authorities. The day was attended by representatives of the GORESAM Dialogue and Sustainability Office, led by Efrain Sanchez la Rosa, as well as the regional general secretary, Wilson Perez Guevara, strengthening the approach of direct dialogue with citizens.
During the meeting, the PEHCBM technical team reported that, once the corresponding administrative and consultative processes have been completed, construction work will begin the last week of March. Likewise, it was detailed that the project contemplates an investment of more than 16 million soles, destined for the construction of a 70-meter-span reticulated vehicular bridge.
The execution of this work will significantly improve connectivity between the communities of Betania and Ramirez, ensuring the timely transportation of agricultural production, especially cocoa, coffee and take-out bread products, which constitute the main source of income for hundreds of families in the area. This direct impact on the local economy makes the Betania bridge a key axis for the productive and social development of the territory.
