At 70% of the work advanced, the new Jorge Chávez airport It still does not have the construction of the Santa Rosa bridge, which will connect Callao with the new entrance to the air complex. The manager of Lima Airport Partners, Juan José Salmón, pointed out that the Peruvian State is in default in the delivery of this work, since in the absence of this, alternative routes will have to be built for the air terminal to come into operation in December this year.
“The State is in a situation of non-compliance. The state should have built the Santa Rosa bridge in 2021, and what the Minister (of Transport) has proposed yesterday, who had already proposed it last year, is a mitigation measure That means that they are going to put Bailey bridges for access to the airport, which will be linked to Santa Rosa Avenue,” said the manager of Lima Airport.
When will the Santa Rosa bridge be there?
According to calculations by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), the Santa Rosa bridge will only be ready in 2027 and that the Project Management Office of the Government of France will be in charge of carrying out this project, which will give access to the new Jorge Chávez airport terminal.
“We have already closed an agreement with the French Government, which is the one that is building the Santa Rosa viaduct line and which reached 100 meters before this bridge and the State did it there. We have told them to do everything, to make the entire route complete,” he said in an interview with RPP Noticias.
Likewise, the head of Transportation commented that this delay with the delivery of the work is due to the fact that there was no company that won the tender and that the Castillo Government did not carry out the proper management for the project to be ready together with the new airport. .
“The ministry should have carried out several projects that are being carried out today, in 2020. For example, the Santa Rosa bridge has had 4 calls, since 2020. It is part of the problem of public procurement. Therefore, We have already closed the deal with the French Government, which is building the Santa Rosa viaduct line, and which arrived 100 meters before this bridge, and what we have done is tell them to do everything,” added the minister.
Where will the Santa Rosa Bridge be located?
According to what was reported by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), in due course, the bridge will be erected over the Rímac River and Santa Rosa Avenue. In addition, the construction of a roundabout is planned in Callao, specifically at the intersection with Morales Duárez Avenue. This area will be used as access for both vehicles and pedestrians to the terminal.
What will the Santa Rosa Bridge be like?
The three-dimensional design of the Santa Rosa expressway project shows how bridges and other road structures will be built to prevent erosion caused by the waters of the Rímac River, with the aim of mitigating the risks associated with adverse weather conditions.
The plan indicates that the Santa Rosa bridge will be an elevated viaduct that will extend over 3.7 kilometers, with connections through 6 ramps and accesses on both sides: one on Argentina Avenue, 2 on La Marina Avenue and 4 on Óscar R. Benavides Avenue.
