📋 Tender Overview
In order to inform citizens about the access and exit options of the new Jorge Chávez International Airport, the Minister of Transport and Communications, Raúl Pérez Reyes, presented today a set of nine road routes that have been designed to meet the future demand for private vehicles and taxis at this modern air terminal.
“Access to the new Jorge Chávez International Airport will be via Morales Duárez Avenue, using modular bridges that were completed on August 23, ahead of schedule,” said the head of the MTC.
During the presentation, Pérez Reyes was accompanied by the Mayor of Callao, Pedro Spadaro, the Vice Minister of Transport, Ismael Sutta, and the Executive Director of Provías Nacional, Iván Aparicio. Together they supervised the completed modular bridges, located at the intersection of Morales Duárez and Nuevo Aeropuerto avenues, in Callao, as well as the access and exit ramps.
The construction of the modular bridges, each 81.9 meters long, is a temporary solution promoted by the current MTC administration that began in March of this year. The construction involved an investment of close to 22 million soles.
Its installation was completed on August 23, thus ensuring direct access to the new airport, while the Santa Rosa bridge is being built. This work has been incorporated into the Santa Rosa Expressway project, which will be executed through the Government-to-Government modality with France.
Entry routes
For those heading to the airport from the south on Faucett Avenue, you can cross Morales Duárez, enter Quilca Avenue, make a U-turn on Saturno Street towards the Quilca Viaduct and then turn right on Morales Duárez.
If the journey begins in Costa Verde, La Marina, Venezuela, Colonial or Argentina, it is recommended to enter Av. Santa Rosa, then take Av. Morales Duárez, turn around before Av. Faucett and continue towards the airport. If you are coming from La Molina, Ate or San Juan de Lurigancho, you can take the Yellow Line and continue along Av. Morales Duárez to reach your destination.
Those coming from the north on Canta Callao, Boca Negra, Tomas Valle or Quilca avenues should turn left on Faucett avenue and then right on Morales Duárez avenue. If the trip begins on Gambetta avenue, you should turn left on Morales Duárez avenue, make a U-turn before Faucett avenue, and continue until the modular bridge.
Exit routes
When leaving the new airport, drivers have four exit routes available to them, starting at Morales Duárez Avenue. For those heading west, they should continue to Gambetta Avenue. If the destination is the south or Callao, it is suggested to turn left on Santa Rosa Avenue and continue towards Costa Verde. Another option is to make a U-turn on Santa Rosa Avenue and then turn right on Faucett Avenue. Finally, those heading east should make a U-turn on Santa Rosa Avenue and then continue towards the Yellow Line.
Road interventions
To ensure smooth traffic on these routes, Minister Pérez Reyes explained that seven road interventions will be implemented on Morales Duárez, Faucett and Quilca avenues. “All these interventions, intended exclusively for private vehicles, will be ready for the start of operations of the new Jorge Chávez airport,” he said.
The interventions include U-turns at the intersection of Morales Duárez and Santa Rosa avenues, Jorge Chávez and before reaching Faucett, as well as at the intersection of Quilca avenue and Saturno street. In addition, a third lane will be enabled in Morales Duárez exclusively for access and exit from the airport, resurfacing work will be carried out and traffic lights will be installed at the intersections of Morales Duárez and Santa Rosa avenues, Nuevo Aeropuerto and Jorge Chávez.
The process of building two overpasses at the intersection of Morales Duárez and Faucett has also begun, which will significantly improve traffic flow. These works are expected to be completed by March 2025.
The minister also explained that, through the ATU, routes are being worked on for public passenger transport, so that they can access the airport terminal. In addition, coordination has begun with the concessionaire Lima Airport Partners (LAP) and Line 2 of the Lima and Callao Metro, for the preparation of the addendum that allows the construction of a terminal for Line 4 within the airport.
Finally, the MTC is preparing an agreement with the Peruvian National Police to strengthen security on all access and exit routes of the new airport, which will directly benefit the more than 30 million passengers who will pass through the airport during the first year of operation.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications will monitor the effectiveness of these routes and interventions, and will take any additional measures necessary to ensure efficient and safe access to the new Jorge Chávez International Airport.
