📋 Tender Overview
Since work began in June of this year, the mega project that will benefit more than 2 million users has progressed 66%The mayor of Lima, Renzo Reggiardo, today supervised the progress of the Via Expresa Grau corridor, a 2.8-kilometer mega-project that will interconnect the Metropolitano with Line 1 of the Lima Metro for the first time and will allow connecting Carabayllo and the Grau station of the electric train in just 30 minutes.
The new Via Expresa Grau, a work of the Municipality of Lima, will have an intelligent transportation system to prioritize the circulation of Metropolitan buses, through three new stations and a transfer station that will connect with Line 1.
Likewise, it will relieve traffic in the most congested areas of the city, allow the renewal of the centralized traffic light system and trips with lower economic fares.
Current advances
The project, executed by the Municipal Company to Support Strategic Projects (Emape), includes the construction of four Metropolitan stations: Abancay, Andahuaylas, Parinacochas/Huanuco and the transfer station with Line 1. To date, the construction progress of the Abancay Metropolitan stations is at 90% and Andahuaylas at 95%.
In this sense, the work that is being carried out is the assembly of metal structures in the boarding area and the lobby of the Abancay and Andahuaylas stations of the Metropolitano.
On the other hand, 2.8 km of concrete tracks have been paved in the entire section of the road corridor (between Plaza Grau and Jiron Junin).
The road infrastructure of the work includes the new Parinacochas/Huanuco station, whose excavations for construction will begin next week.
Additionally, in February 2026, the construction of the transfer station will begin, which will have a pedestrian viaduct to facilitate access to the electric train. Additionally, the paths that will be located in the level section (between the Lucanas and Junin sections) have 50% progress.
To improve air quality and beautify the urban landscape, trees (160 palm trees and 360 guaranguays) are being planted with 80% progress in the Plaza Grau and Jiron Junin sections, and vines and ground covers are planned to be installed in January.
Finally, in the following days, the main and auxiliary roads of the section of Aviacion Avenue and Jiron Junin will be opened, in the east-west direction, so that drivers can travel more fluidly in a context of high traffic due to the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
