Audit Flags Land and Utility Obstacles, Pavement Failures on TrujilloHuanchaco Road

A new Contraloría control report cites unresolved third‑party occupations, telecom interferences plus early pavement damage that threaten the project's viability.

Overview

  • The report documents eight territorial occupations in a 160‑meter sample at km 4, indicating conflicts along the 9.2‑km corridor that could affect schedule and cost.
  • Telecom infrastructure interferences were identified between km 0 and 8.7, and as of November 21 the regional government had not procedurally challenged a S/12.3 million removal budget submitted on January 7.
  • Contraloría says these risks were known during preparation of the technical dossier but were not incorporated into the roadway design approved by the Regional Infrastructure Office.
  • Inspection findings between km 6.8 and 8.7 show construction deficiencies and premature deterioration of rigid pavement attributed to contractor noncompliance with quality standards.
  • The watchdog urges the La Libertad regional government to secure land availability and implement corrective measures to avoid work stoppages, overruns and a shorter service life for the road.
