Overview
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo said there will be no toll collection for much or possibly all of next year, and Deputy Mayor Fabiola Morales stated the city does not plan to charge tolls in 2026.
- Following Rutas de Lima’s exit, the city assumed control of former concession toll booths and roughly 85 kilometers of the Panamericana Sur and Norte.
- Officials have not presented a financing plan to cover operations, maintenance, road signage, and emergency response in the absence of tariff income.
- Legal and transport specialists warn that suspending tolls raises sustainability concerns and could deter future concessions unless clear, predictable rules are restored.
- Vía Expresa Grau is about 90% complete and projected to open in the first quarter of next year, with the ATU deciding between the Metropolitano or a dedicated corridor for operations and with features that include four stations with elevators and a transfer to Line 1.
