📋 Tender Overview
To date, more than 5 kilometers of tunnel have been built and progress is more than 80%.The Micaela tunnel boring machine, which excavates the tunnel of the Branch of Line 4 of the first underground metro in the country, arrived at Station E4-06 - Quilca, consolidating the sustained progress of this important work of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC).
With an average of 16 meters of progress per day, the TBM has built more than 5 km of the tunnel since the beginning of its work, crossing the Gambetta, Canta Callao, Bocanegra, Aeropuerto, El Olivar stations until its arrival at the Quilca Station. It should be remembered that the Branch Line 4 includes a total of eight stations located along Elmer Faucett Avenue in Callao.
To complete its journey, the tunnel boring machine will have to excavate an additional 2.4 kilometers. In this final section, it will pass through the Moralez Duarez Station until reaching its destination at the Carmen de la Legua Station, where the construction of the tunnel will end, and will interconnect with Line 2. Currently, Line 4 registers a physical progress of more than 80%, which shows the sustained progress of the project.
Line 2 and the branch of Line 4 constitute the first underground metro in Peru and, together, they will have an extension of 35 kilometers and 35 stations: 27 corresponding to Line 2 and 8 to the branch of Line 4. Both infrastructures will transform urban mobility for millions of citizens.
With the construction and upcoming completion of this mega-project, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to implementing modern, safe and quality urban transportation systems that contribute to improving the quality of life of all Peruvians.
