Overview
- Ayacucho’s anti-corruption prosecutors launched a preliminary case and seized files from the regional transport directorate tied to the Tunkimayo modular bridge project.
- The bridge failed on Sunday, Oct. 26, during assembly and positioning operations in Tunkimayo, Anco (La Mar), before its inauguration under works overseen by the regional transport authority.
- No injuries were reported, but the collapse caused major material damage and affected the Camisea gas main near kilometer 193, prompting TGP safety inspections.
- The structure was a 42.67‑meter Acrow modular span donated by the Transport Ministry to the Ayacucho regional government for emergency connectivity in the VRAEM.
- Transit on the corridor remains disrupted as residents demand accountability and cite unstable terrain and absent supervision, while the DRTC labels it a technical incident and orders a full evaluation.
