Audit Finds 2026 Funding Gap Puts Lima’s Vía Expresa Santa Rosa at Risk

The finance ministry allocated S/106.6 million against a programmed S/391.6 million, leaving a deficit of about S/285 million.

Overview

  • Peru’s comptroller warned the shortfall threatens continuity this year for the link between the Costa Verde and the new Jorge Chávez airport.
  • The project management office told Provías Nacional current resources do not cover the physical and financial baseline or the payment plan, heightening risks of stoppages, reprogramming and contractor claims.
  • Multiannual investment programming indicates the budget risk could persist through 2027–2029, according to the control report.
  • Provías moved to terminate a state-to-state technical assistance deal with a firm representing France, but the effect is suspended pending direct talks until April 6, so PMO Vías continues assisting.
  • The execution contract for the main works remains unsigned and uncertain, while the energy and mines minister maintains the official timetable will be met.
