Norvial S.A.

completed

In April 2001, the Government of Peru (GoP) opened an international bidding for the Ancon - Huacho - Pativilca section of the Panamericana highway. Five consortia were prequalified, three presented a technical proposal, and two presented an economic proposal. The consortium led by Graña y Montero S.A.A. [G&M] (which included JJC Contratistas Generales S.A. [JJC]) offered the highest canon and won the bid. Norvial S.A. was established in October 2002 and signed a Concession Agreement with the GoP in January 2003. The project is to expand, improve, operate and maintain the Ancon – Huacho – Pativilca section of the Panamericana highway (the “toll road”) over a 25-year period. The toll road is used to travel to and from cities and towns along the Pacific coast north of Lima, including Huaral, Huacho, Supe, Barranca and Pativilca. It provides important activities - such as industrial manufacturing, agriculture, mining and fisheries – access to Peru's main port (Callao) and to Lima. In the first 2½ years of the concession, main investments include: - construction of two bypasses (1+1 lane) with a total length of 34 km, - construction of two bridges with a total length of 587 m, - construction of two interchanges, and - rehabilitation in different sections of the highway.
