Piura: a culvert destroyed by the water from the San Francisco stream awaits a bridge

ERP. For several years, the population of Malingas and other places have been demanding the construction of a bridge over the San Francisco ravine to facilitate connectivity with or without rain; but despite the requests and offers from national authorities, the destruction of the concrete culvert is clear evidence of what has been done and that it constitutes a bad investment.

“This culvert was built believing that this ravine remains dry, but when it rains in the high areas it is a river more” tells us a driver who is traveling towards Sol Sol, a populated center located on the Tambogrande-Chulucanas route. “When it rains, the only way to get from one place to another is to use tires, with the risk of being dragged away.” he said.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications indicated more than two years ago that 13 bridges would be built in these areas, but there has been no investment, although the source says that from time to time they see engineers or technical personnel carrying out measurements. This ravine is one of the most significant in the area, but others cause the same problems and it is easy to notice the differences in level.

Likewise, in the last presidential message, the criticized Dina Boluarte Zegarra repeated the same offer. These bridges are necessary for the integration of these peoples and also as exit routes for agricultural export products that are grown on land that was previously fallow land and that now provides employment for a large number of residents.
