Overview
- During a Nov. 15 visit to Junín, President José Jerí committed to reactivate the paralyzed JU-103 by arranging technical assistance and sending heavy machinery through the Ministry of Housing.
- He set a 4:00 p.m. mesa de diálogo with residents of the Valle del Yacus and regional authorities to address the road’s restart and outstanding demands.
- Local communities welcomed the announcements with caution and said they will keep up oversight and protests until they see concrete progress on the works.
- In Huancayo, Jerí led the first-stone ceremony for the Puente Arequipa, a project whose budget rose from about S/16 million to more than S/22 million.
- Municipal officials highlighted that Foncomún increases tied to covering the bridge’s higher cost were secured when Jerí chaired Congress’s Budget Commission, as the president emphasized a transitional agenda that prioritizes unblocking stalled infrastructure.
