📋 Tender Overview
To date, more than 4 kilometers of tunnel have been built in this Branch, which includes eight stations and its interconnection with Line 2 at the Station: Carmen de la Legua.The Micaela tunnel boring machine, which excavates the Line 4 Branch tunnel of the countrys first underground metro, arrived at the El Olivar Station, consolidating the sustained progress of this important work of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC).
The General Directorate of Transportation Programs and Projects of the MTC reported that the Micaela tunnel boring machine has built more than 4 kilometers of the Line 4 Branch tunnel. The machine began its work in the Ventilation Well and, since then, has maintained continuous progress, passing underground through the Gambetta, Canta Callao, Bocanegra and Aeropuerto stations, until its recent arrival at the El Olivar Station.
After a scheduled technical stop for maintenance work, the tunnel boring machine will resume its journey towards the Quilca and Morales Duarez stations. Its excavation work will culminate at the Carmen de la Legua station, a strategic point where it will interconnect with Line 2.
At the end of January 2026, the execution of the Branch of Line 4, carried out jointly with the Sociedad Concesionaria Metro de Lima Linea 2 S.A., records a physical progress of work of 53.58%, which shows the sustained progress of the project.
It is important to highlight that the Branch of Line 4 includes eight stations located along Av. Elemer Faucett, in the Constitutional Province of Callao and is part of the comprehensive project of Line 2 of the Lima and Callao Metro. Both infrastructures will transform urban mobility, offering a fast, safe and efficient transportation system for millions of citizens.
Line 2 and the branch of Line 4 constitute the first underground metro in Peru, a heavy and fully automatic metro type (GoA4). Together, they will have an extension of 35 kilometers, 35 stations: 27 corresponding to Line 2 and 8 to the branch of Line 4.
With the construction and upcoming completion of this mega-project, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications reaffirms its commitment to implementing modern, safe and quality urban transportation systems that contribute to improving the quality of life of all Peruvians.
