The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) held a meeting on April 17 with Nilda Abarca Campos, mayor of the Miraflores district in Yauyos province, to address concerns about the critical condition of two bridges in the area.
The issue is important because the affected bridges are key connections for local residents. Ensuring their safety and functionality is vital for maintaining community access and preventing potential accidents or disruptions.
During the meeting, Minister Aldo Prieto Barrera and Mayor Abarca Campos reviewed the current state of these structures. They discussed immediate steps needed to guarantee public safety and preserve traffic flow at this important crossing point. As a result, it was agreed that Provías Descentralizado will prepare a specialized technical report to guide future actions and coordinate with relevant authorities for an effective solution.
“The commitment of our sector is to act quickly and responsibly to protect citizens. We are coordinating necessary technical actions so that these structures do not pose a risk, ensuring that people in Yauyos maintain their connectivity,” said Prieto Barrera.
The MTC says it will continue working closely with local governments to respond promptly to infrastructure emergencies, prioritizing citizen safety and guaranteeing connectivity across regions. The ministry operates under its minister’s guidance as part of Peru’s executive branch with authority over transport and communications matters according to its official website.
