The New Central Highway is a mountain highway with a length of about 190 kilometers, with 4 lanes in a single carriageway that will start in Lima and end in the District of Yauli, Junín, thus linking the Peruvian coast with the Amazon jungle.

The highway will cross the Peruvian Andes, starting at an altitude of 300 m above sea level and reaching up to 4,800 m above sea level.

The design of this new route will incorporate the structural study of tunnels, viaducts, bridges, slope containment works, drainage works, operation and maintenance buildings, among others.

It will be a highway of the National Road Network of the Peruvian State, executed under the Government-to-Government modality between the Republics of Peru and France.

The expected investment is 7,000 million USD over 8 years.

This is the largest infrastructure project in Latin America. One of the 3 most important in the world today.
