PROJECT LOCATION

Tambobamba, Challhuahuacho and Mara districts, Cotabambas province.

OBJECTIVE

Have the necessary infrastructure to allow the passage of heavy vehicles and local residents in a comfortable and safe manner.

DESCRIPTION

There used to be a 19.50 m span bridge. However, riverbed erosion was being caused due to river channel narrowing; therefore, we built a bridge with a 23.50 m span and a roadbed width of 3.60 m so the riverbed width of the Ichuray River would not be affected. The bridge has a capacity of 32 t, ensuring the passage of heavy vehicles and connecting residents from the Tambobamba and Challhuahuacho districts to the Mara – Ccapacmarca and the Santo Tomás – Cusco roads.
