The Ministry of Transport and Communications announced on Apr. 24 that significant progress has been made on two infrastructure projects in the Ica region: the Chinchaysullo overpass and the San Clemente pedestrian bridge.

Both initiatives are part of a broader package totaling S/726 million for 21 works along the Pucusana–Ica route, managed by Concesionaria Vial del Perú S.A. (COVIPERÚ) under an agreement signed in 2024.
