Overview
- The Callao municipality ordered a progressive 48‑hour closure on Tuesday covering more than 4 kilometers from the Haya de la Torre ramp to the Chucuito exit, split into two 24‑hour segments across all six lanes.
- Officials cite anomalous waves that push water and rocks onto the pavement, plus worn asphalt, poor lighting, thin or missing signs and reflectors, and loose rocks on the slope as immediate safety risks.
- The move follows a traffic crash that injured five people and a high‑profile gold ingot robbery on the same roadway, which authorities said underscored the need for urgent action.
- Drivers are being routed to alternatives such as La Marina, Guardia Chalaca, Miguel Grau, Costanera, and La Paz while crews carry out cleaning and maintenance along the coastal expressway.
- In Trujillo, the city closed the Óvalo Víctor Larco to vehicles until April 5 for pavement repairs run by Consorcio Obras Viales under a S/ 5.3 million, 150‑day project, while a separate upgrade to Avenida Federico Villarreal toward the La Hermelinda market has reached 25.21% progress.
