📋 Tender Overview
Works carried out in strategic avenues of the First Port allow the implementation of exclusive bus lanes that will connect Callao with Lima.In a working meeting between the Provincial Municipality of Callao and the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), the scope and benefits of the so-called Pink Corridor were presented, a strategic initiative to reorganize and optimize public transportation between the First Port and the capital. This corridor is an integral part of the Lima-Callao Urban Mobility Plan (PMU), an instrument that includes more than 200 projects aimed at modernizing mobility in the metropolitan area.
The project includes the creation of the first two pink corridors, that is, exclusive bus lanes on key axes that connect Callao with Lima: Tomas Valle, Venezuela, Miguel Grau and Saenz Pena avenues. By 2030, the implementation of a total of eight pink corridors is planned, as part of the operational improvements that seek to reduce travel times and increase the efficiency of the public transportation service.
During the meeting, Mayor Pedro Spadaro highlighted that the project is possible thanks to the investment in road infrastructure carried out by the Provincial Municipality of Callao, which has allowed the improvement of avenues such as Tomas Valle, Alejandro Bertello, Carlos Izaguirre, Prolongacion Avenida Peru, among others.
This new Corridor will represent a qualitative leap for urban mobility in the First Port, by improving fluidity and guaranteeing more orderly and safe transportation for citizens, he said.
For his part, the executive president of the ATU, David Hernandez, stressed that the implementation of the corridors is aimed at strengthening the integration of public transportation between both jurisdictions, reducing travel times and improving the travel experience of thousands of users.
The Pink Corridor will contribute to improving access and fluidity of public transport in strategic areas such as the Central Market of Callao and the Real Felipe Fortress, among other points. Likewise, the project contemplates the implementation of modern bus stops equipped with video surveillance cameras and panic buttons, as well as lanes that will allow faster and more efficient emergency response by firefighters, ambulances and the National Police of Peru.
The first stage of the project includes the entry into operation of two transportation corridors at the end of the first quarter of this year, consolidating a decisive step towards a more efficient, safe and accessible public transportation system for the population of Callao and Lima.
