📋 Tender Overview

The mayor of Lima, Renzo Reggiardo, today opened the Las Torres bypass, leaving both directions of the road enabled, thus consolidating a rapid transit axis on the Ramiro Priale highway, in one of the points with the greatest traffic congestion in East Lima.
The modern infrastructure, 1.4 kilometers long, has six lanes--three in each direction--, concrete structures, signage and an integral lighting system, which guarantees greater safety and vehicle flow both day and night. With the total opening of the road (round trip), continuous traffic is established that will reduce the travel time from Lima to Chosica from approximately two and a half hours to only 45 minutes.
Today we put at the service of Eastern Lima a fundamental work to improve the quality of life of the population, that is doing management, that is caring for the people who most need their authorities, those of us who have the role of exercising public office, he said.
The bypass will directly benefit more than one million residents of Chaclacayo, Chosica, Huachipa, Carapongo, Cajamarquilla, Santa Clara, Huaycan, Nana, among other sectors of Eastern Lima. We tell the population to trust us. We come to provide the services they deserve. We are providing both directions of the road and we continue working every day to improve the quality of life and the economy of our neighbors, said the mayor.
For his part, the mayor of Lurigancho-Chosica, Oswaldo Vargas, highlighted the impact of the work. This road will unblock traffic and promote economic, social, productive and tourist development in Chosica, Chaclacayo and Lima Este, while the mayor of Chaclacayo, Sergio Baigorria, highlighted that the bypass will facilitate the transfer of people and goods, consolidating a key corridor for the growth of the area.
Moron Bridge at 93.5% completion
During his tour of East Lima, the mayor also inspected the progress of the Moron bridge, which registers 93.5% completion. It is a 94-meter-long modular metal structure, with two lanes and a pedestrian walkway, which is installed over the Rimac River.
The work will safely integrate the districts of Lurigancho-Chosica and Chaclacayo, benefiting more than 500 thousand residents and improving access to services, commerce and transportation.
Rain prevention: work on the Rimac river
The mayor also supervised today the rockfilling, cleaning and clearing work on the Rimac River, carried out by the Municipality of Lima as part of the preventive actions against the increase in flow due to rain.
The work was carried out on an extension of four kilometers, from Huancayo Street to the Universidad Peruana Union, in Lurigancho-Chosica, with the objective of improving the hydraulic capacity and protecting the slope of the right bank.
17 million soles have been invested and we have also used the Municipality of Limas own machinery. It is a great job; we have not had any cases that have caused us concern regarding river overflows. That is planning and work, said Renzo Reggiardo.
These interventions are part of a plan initiated in October of last year in the Chillon, Rimac and Lurin rivers, to date reaching approximately 15 kilometers intervened to reduce risks and strengthen emergency prevention.
Expansion of the Ramiro Priale highway
The mayor also verified the completion of the expansion of three additional kilometers of the Ramiro Priale highway, in the section between Lateral Pesca street and the Los Girasoles de Huampani bridge.
The intervention included the construction of new lanes and the comprehensive improvement of the road with double lanes in both directions, generating a continuous route from the Via de Evitamiento to Chosica. This work benefits nearly two million citizens of Lurigancho-Chosica, Chaclacayo and Ate, as well as sectors such as Carapongo and Nana.
