Overview
- The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima postponed the ‘marcha blanca’ and the start of construction for the Nueva Vía Rápida Javier Prado between Los Frutales and El Golf.
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo ordered the pause following heavy congestion and complaints from residents and drivers in La Molina.
- The city formed a Technical Commission to evaluate the detour plan, and the pilot and works will resume only with a favorable report.
- La Molina’s municipality urged an immediate halt, citing poor signage, misaligned signal timing, and insufficient traffic control that pushed trucks and colectivos into residential areas.
- Invermet said it is monitoring traffic in real time and will add alternate routes and dynamic signal and signage adjustments, while the broader one‑year construction timeline remains uncertain pending the review.
