Traffic Diversion Begins for Puente Santa Rosa, Permanent Access to Jorge Chávez Airport

The state-run project aims to replace temporary airport links with a permanent bridge in roughly two years.

Overview

  • The diversion on Av. Morales Duárez, which began Sunday at 8 a.m., closes two lanes over about 600 meters between Jirón Ucayali and Calle 28 de Julio.
  • Traffic will keep moving through auxiliary routes and reverse-direction lanes, with temporary signs, adjusted traffic lights, and on‑site guides in place.
  • Early works include retaining walls, underpasses, east and west turn bridges, entry and exit ramps, access ramps, and the main span over the Rímac River.
  • Consorcio Puente Chalaco is building the project under Provías Nacional and PMO Vías oversight, with the traffic plan coordinated with police and the Callao municipality.
  • Officials expect construction to take about two years, with some guidance pointing to late 2026, and the bridge will replace the modular crossings now used to reach the new terminal.
