📋 Tender Overview
Megaobra that was inspected by the mayor of Lima, Renzo Reggiardo, will have modern stations and an intelligent transportation systemThe 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 Grau Expressway will have four stations, including a transfer station for the Metropolitan and Line 1. I am satisfied with the progress of the work and we hope that in the first quarter of next year we will be able to inaugurate the road, after coordination with the ATU, said the mayor.
The mayor highlighted that the mega-work will relieve traffic in the most congested areas of the city, will allow the renewal of the centralized traffic light system and trips with lower economic rates.
Progress to date
The project, which will benefit more than 2 million citizens, 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.
Complementary to these works, trees (160 palm trees and 360 guaranguays) are being planted with 80% progress in the section of Plaza Grau and Jiron Junin, and it is planned to install, in January, vines and ground covers.
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.
