📋 Tender Overview
The Municipal Company to Support Strategic Projects placed the lights on both tracks of the new viaduct in Lurigancho-ChosicaPress release 122-2026.
The construction of the new Las Torres bypass in the Lurigancho-Chosica district is in the final stretch. Through the Municipal Company to Support Strategic Projects (EMAPE) - a body attached to the Municipality of Lima - the installation of 55 light poles with luminaires on both roads was completed, with the aim of providing adequate lighting and walkability conditions.
With the new poles and lights installed, it is expected that full vehicular traffic will soon be enabled on both roads, 24 hours a day, benefiting 2 million residents of East Lima.
EMAPE will install a total of 60 light posts on the viaduct, while the electricity company has been placing them in operation to optimize visibility on the drivers route.
As is known, the white march of vehicular traffic on the Lima-Chosica road, which began on January 9, is still ongoing, where vehicles circulate normally during the usual hours from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. m. to 6 p.m. m.
On the other hand, the ground has been prepared for the paving of the last stretch of bypass tracks on the Chosica-Lima road and 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 traffic 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 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 began in June 2025 and in just eight months, it is now in the final stage with the lighting work.
