📋 Tender Overview

The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima implements this Sunday, April 5, a special contraflow plan on the Panamericana Sur, with the aim of facilitating the return of thousands of citizens to the capital and reducing traffic congestion on this road.
As part of this strategy, arranged by the mayor of Lima, Renzo Reggiardo, for the return to Lima, five lanes are enabled in a south-north direction, from the La Chutana sector to the Atocongo bridge, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. m. until midnight.
This measure will optimize vehicle flow in one of the busiest stretches during long weekends and holidays, facilitating the return to Lima of thousands of citizens who went to the beaches during this Holy Week.
In this context, the mayor called on citizens and the transportation sector to contribute to traffic order during the day.
We ask the population to manage appropriate schedules for their return home, in order to achieve a safe and orderly return. Without a doubt, there is a historical overload of vehicles in general, as well as heavy transportation; therefore, we urge the operating companies not to overload traffic in the schedule that we have established for the contraflow, said the mayor.
To reinforce this strategy, the municipal authority also highlighted the use of digital tools that allow better planning of trips. We ask the population to use the Waze application, we have an agreement with Waze so that they can schedule their return and know what times are the most appropriate to travel, he added.
The mayor recalled that the state of traffic on the Panamericana Sur can be viewed in real time through the monitoring cameras of the Municipal Company to Support Strategic Projects (Emape), through its official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Emape_oficial
Likewise, he urged drivers to respect the instructions of road personnel and drive with caution to avoid incidents.
It should be noted that Emape provides permanent attention through its emergency center, operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Citizens can call 939 561 906 to report vehicle accidents, request road assistance or other incidents.

To carry out the operation, the Lima community has deployed a total of 115 operators in charge of channeling and controlling traffic in key areas. Likewise, 330 cones and 2,850 channelizers have been installed to temporarily modify the direction of circulation.
