Lima Sets Jan. 9 Trial Opening for Las Torres Bypass

The limited opening signals the project is still awaiting finishing works plus technical clearances.

Overview

  • Municipal officials will open two lanes west-to-east from Ramiro Prialé toward Chosica between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. during the marcha blanca.
  • The 1.4 km viaduct has six lanes and is reported at roughly 92%–96% physical completion.
  • Full operation, including the east-to-west direction, is targeted for February pending lighting installation, signage and coordination with utilities such as Cálidda.
  • The municipality says it transferred train rolling stock to the Transport Ministry for technical review after Ferrocarril Central Andino flagged 49 risk points, a critique the mayor disputes.
  • Residents and transport specialists caution that without integrated access controls and traffic management, congestion could be displaced to secondary roads after months of construction-related disruption.
