Piura Center Rebuild Sets Paving on Four Streets as Storm Tank Faces Redesign

The project shows minimal progress, with unplanned utility clashes threatening additional costs.

Overview

  • Regional adviser Jesús Moreno said the Lima, Moquegua, Ica and Apurímac streets will be paved this month where fewer interferences were found.
  • He confirmed the storm tank in Plaza Tres Culturas will proceed, while the contractor evaluates narrowing its width from 23 meters to about 18–20 meters in light of groundwater conditions.
  • The Colegio de Arquitectos, led by Leopoldo Villacorta, called for technical revisions to the drainage design and warned the tank could endanger nearby buildings.
  • Regional transparency data indicates roughly 2% progress on roads and 0.2% on drainage despite an investment exceeding S/120 million.
  • Diario Correo reported the technical dossier omitted utility interferences, raising the prospect of cost additions or a new tender, as businesses and residents describe losses from prolonged closures and demolitions.
