Lima Keeps Panamericana Sur Tolls Suspended for Summer, Weighs Cheaper Fees Afterward

The municipality took control of the road after Rutas de Lima withdrew.

Overview

  • City officials say tolls will not be charged during the summer because alternate routes are not yet enabled.
  • The municipality is studying a lower toll to be applied after summer, with no implementation date or tariff announced.
  • Lima assumed operational control of the Panamericana Sur on December 4 after Rutas de Lima exited the concession citing liquidity problems.
  • Public messaging has varied, with the mayor promising free passage for the summer and the deputy mayor indicating a later return of tolls at a more affordable rate.
  • The Lima–Chosica train project will be handed to the Transport Ministry, ProInversión will seek a private operator, and the overhauled fleet is completing maintenance in Chosica.
