en.Wedoany.com Reported - Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) is preparing a pre-feasibility study for the project "Improving Access Services on the PE-1S National Highway (Matarani Port Branch) to the City of Puerto Matarani." Located in the La Joya district of the Arequipa region, the project is being advanced by the General Directorate of Transport Programs and Projects (Dirección General de Programas y Proyectos de Transportes).

The project plans to upgrade approximately 57.9 kilometers of the Arequipa-Matarani road section, aiming to optimize traffic conditions and enhance connectivity with the Port of Matarani, a key logistics and commercial hub in southern Peru.

The pre-feasibility study is currently in the outline research phase, which will determine the optimal technical solution. This phase must address existing issues of traffic congestion and high accident rates on the current road section to improve road safety and reduce travel time for transporters, passengers, and other users.

The project is expected to bring benefits to the public and the production sector, including facilitating cargo transport, promoting trade, and stimulating economic activity along the Arequipa-Matarani road corridor.

Through this project, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to improving national road infrastructure, promoting safer and more efficient travel conditions for road users, and strengthening connections with the Port of Matarani, a vital logistics and commercial hub in southern Peru.
