Peru highway plan being evaluated

The Peruvian Government is evaluating the potential for a new central highway. The route of the highway would keep it at a distance from rivers so as to reduce the risk of flooding. Existing highways have suffered serious flooding as well as landslides in Peru in recent months. Constructing the new highway could cost from US$ 1billion to $1.5 billion while the work would take around five years to carry out.
