Peru watchdog flags delays in highway protection plan ahead of El Niño 2026-27

Peru's Comptroller General warns that Provías Nacional lacks technical requirements, delaying a million-dollar plan to safeguard key highways against the anticipated El Niño 2026-2027. The delay reduces preparation time for climate emergencies, increasing vulnerability of critical transport infrastructure. The report is an official audit finding, but the full extent of impact on highway readiness remains uncertain.
