Abstract: The main objective of this research is to identify what other key factor, outside of insufficient investment, could explain the persistent road infrastructure gap in Peru. The hypothesis used here is that the Peruvian state has been acting without a long-term forecast system and, therefore, without a development strategy. After analysing the case of a highway that has been unfinished for more than 70 years, it is argued that no evidence was found of any strategy that: (i) has sought to preserve the infrastructure without exposure to the risk of natural disasters; (ii) has prospectively identified the infrastructure that its population needs; (iii) has sought to avoid useless infrastructure maintenance expenses; nor (iv) has tried to discourage in closing the infrastructure gap since the political authorities’ own electoral campaigns.
