The work is 95 percent complete. It would be completed in the month of February after finishing the coordination with the Calidda and Sedapal companies, said the mayor, highlighting that the travel time from Lima to Chosica is currently approximately two and a half hours and with the new viaduct it is estimated to be 45 minutes.
