Marc Chassande, manager of the Nueva Carretera Central, stated to RPP that the Pariachi Tunnel is fully prepared to begin construction, however, funding remains the primary obstacle. PMO Vías has presented two potential execution scenarios, projecting completion by either 2035 or 2038. Securing the necessary contract requires S/300 million, a sum that has not been allocated in either the 2027 budget or through supplementary credit. Chassande emphasized the need for a definitive decision from the Peruvian State regarding the initiation of the project. The lack of financial commitment jeopardizes the timeline for this critical infrastructure undertaking in Peru. The project's future hinges on a governmental decision to proceed with funding.
