On the other hand, the ground has been prepared for the paving of the last stretch of bypass tracks on the Chosica-Lima road. Later, the horizontal signage will be painted, thus completing this mega-work that connects Lima and Chosica in less time.
LAS TORRES BYPASS SPEEDS UP TRANSIT ON THE RAMIRO PRIALE HIGHWAY
The Las Torres bypass, during the current pre-operational phase of the white march, has made it possible to speed up the transit of heavy-duty vehicles, public transport buses and private cars on the Ramiro Priale highway.
This modern infrastructure has become an important road link to the Central Highway, achieving savings in travel times of 2 hours to 45 minutes from Lima to Lurigancho-Chosica, and improving access to such as Huachipa, Carapongo, Cajamarquilla, Santa Clara and other popular areas of eastern Lima.
With 1.4 km in length and six lanes (three in each direction), the Las Torres bypass is consolidated as one of the emblematic works of the Municipality of Lima. Its execution, which began in June 2025, reaches 98% completion in just nine months, and is now in the final stage with lighting work.
