Overview
- A heavy delivery van became lodged under the Eduardo Villarán bridge at the Arequipa–Javier Prado junction on Tuesday, forcing the vehicle’s removal and the restriction of one traffic lane while inspectors assess damage.
- On-site teams found detached metal beams, exposed cables and a damaged 3.20‑meter clearance sign on the bridge, prompting municipal and police measures to secure the structure and the roadway.
- The Autoridad de Transporte Urbano (ATU) ordered detours for Corredor Azul routes 301, 303 and 305, directing buses via Jr. Jorge Basadre and Av. Arenales and advising riders to take precautions until normal service resumes.
- Security cameras recorded two suspects on a motorcycle firing about eight shots at the front of a spa in San Martín de Porres at about 4:15 a.m., with no injuries reported and investigators treating the case as an active criminal inquiry.
- Neighbors noted the spa was previously attacked with an explosive device nearly a year ago, and officials say continued police diligences and bridge inspections will determine liability, repair needs and timing for the full reopening.
