Overview
- In Ayacucho’s Sancos district, the under‑construction Ccaccella bridge collapsed after heavy rains, cutting off about 6,000 residents in five communities and prompting calls for a temporary modular span.
- Local authorities report the bridge was executed by a company linked to Minera Sotrami under a community agreement, sharpening scrutiny of technical quality and oversight.
- Huaicos in Arequipa’s Caravelí and a lahar in Moquegua’s Quinistaquillas destroyed roads and the El Pedregal bridge, isolating towns as regional crews move in with heavy machinery.
- An intense snowfall at Ticlio forced a temporary shutdown of the Carretera Central before a restricted reopening, with police urging extreme caution.
- Senamhi maintains orange alerts for moderate‑to‑strong precipitation across multiple regions as the state deploys response teams—MTPE in Perené and 4,280 Minsa brigadistas—after a Junín huaico killed a family and river levels rise.
