📋 Tender Overview
The first underground metro in Peru will transport more than 660 thousand passengers a day. It is projected that by 2030 demand will reach 1.2 million daily users.With the aim of accelerating the start-up of the countrys first subway train, construction work is being carried out simultaneously. In this framework, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the General Directorate of Transportation Programs and Projects, reports that Line 2 of the Lima and Callao Metro reached 80.66% of general physical progress.
The sustained progress of this mega-work, executed in conjunction with the Sociedad Concesionaria Metro de Lima Linea 2 S. A., is divided into three stages: Stage 1-A, currently in operation; Stage 1-B, which reaches 89.28%; and Stage 2, which presents 65.91% execution. Meanwhile, the Line 4 Branch exceeds 53% physical progress.
Along with the civil works, the Delia and Micaela tunnel boring machines continue to operate jointly. Delia, in charge of excavating the main tunnel of Line 2, advances towards the Oscar Benavides station (E-06); It will soon pass through Carmen de la Legua (E-05) and arrive at Insurgentes (E-04), where its route will conclude. To date, it is 67% complete.
For her part, Micaela continues with the excavation of the Line 4 Branch tunnel, reaching 53% progress. All of these percentages reflect the sustained progress of one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country.
When the work is fully operational, it will allow more than 660 thousand passengers to be transported per day, and it is projected that by 2030 demand could reach 1.2 million daily users. Likewise, more than 2.5 million people living in its area of influence will benefit from a modern, fast and safe transportation system.
This new system will connect 10 districts of Lima and Callao: Ate, Santa Anita, El Agustino, San Luis, La Victoria, Cercado de Lima, Brena, Bellavista, Carmen de la Legua and Callao. Thanks to this interconnection, the journey between Ate and Callao will take 45 minutes, which will reduce travel times, transform urban mobility and improve the quality of life of thousands of families.
