The South Interoceanic Highway, which construction will require US$ 1.6 billion, will be finished in the first quarter of 2011, reported the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC)
"Brazil has already built roads along the border. That means that in 2011 (once the road is completed) both countries will have an great interconnection", said Enrique Cornejo, the minister.
“This road will be a great contribution for all South America, because it will not only communicate Pacific and Atlantic oceans, but also allow commercial and tourism trade” he said.
The minister said that more of 50% from the budget has already been invested in the construction.
This 2,000km highway will cross the Peruvian regions of Arequipa, Ayacucho, Apurimac, Cusco, Madre de Dios, Puno, Moquegua and Tacna.
