South Korea’s Dohwa to Conduct Pre-Feasibility Study for Peru’s TumbesTacna High-Speed Rail

The assessment will define cost, demand and feasibility before any construction decision.

Overview

  • Peru’s Transport Ministry said Dohwa Engineering delivered a formal letter of intent to undertake the pre-feasibility study.
  • The proposed corridor spans about 2,446 km from Tumbes to Tacna with planned stops across the coastal regions, including Lima.
  • Officials pointed to prospective support through Korea’s official development assistance for the evaluation phase.
  • Preliminary targets include a 16-hour end-to-end journey, around 113 million passengers annually and roughly 61.5 million tonnes of freight, pending validation.
  • Authorities signaled that any construction would extend into the next administration, as Dohwa also advances a ChincheroCusco rail pre-feasibility study.
