The project to build a new highway in Peru has an eye-watering investment of almost £275m (Image: NC) A huge £275m motorway is set to be built directly through the Amazon which will connect two cities. Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has joined forces with Japan for the construction of the project that will link Amazonas and Loreto. The mega project, to be built and paved by Japan, is a significant boost to facilitate access to needed sectors such as health, education and transportation in the area.
