The Chancay bridge collapsed. He Santa Rosa bridge It does not exist. The Armendáriz bridge is incomplete. And just as they, hundreds of other unusable bridges have literally paralyzed the country, such as the AJA bridge and the solidarity bridge.
Why is it so difficult to do (and maintain) a bridge in Peru? The reasons are many, but they revolve around the inability of management. As a self -fulfilling prophecy, the absurd bureaucracy, which indefinitely extends the processes with controls to avoid corruption, is the one that ends up causing corruption.
Therefore, the last major works in Peru have been done under the modality of government to government (G2G), which is the contracting mechanism between two governments to manage public projects. This agreement is based on international standards of efficiency, transparency and speed, criteria that Peru apparently does not have. Through the G2G, the Lorena and Bernales (France) hospitals, the reconstruction of the North (United Kingdom), the Chinchero Airport (South Korea) and, only since 2024, the Santa Rosa bridge are made.
This is how the 2019 Lima Pan American Games were made with the United Kingdom. And, therefore, many have opposed the dissolution of the special legacy project. They fear that, when absorbed by the IPD (Peruvian Institute of Sports), resources and infrastructure are lost as a bridge in the flood of state corruption.
Thus we arrive at the “bicentennial of the consolidation of our independence” depending on other countries to make a simple bridge. And so we will reach 2026 with any of the forty candidates talking about a state reform.
