📋 Tender Overview
The diversion plan of the University Avenue was presented.The Municipality of Lima, through EMAPE, will implement a vehicle diversion plan on Thursday, September 11, for the start of the mega -work of the new road corridor of the North Express Via. This project seeks to transform mass public transport in this area of intense traffic, for the benefit of more than 5 million neighbors.
In this first stage, the closure on University Avenue will be partial, only in an adjacent lane (in both directions) to the central berm. It will be held in the section between Tomas Valle and Angelica Gamarra avenues, for a period of 75 calendar days. Private vehicles must circulate through the two lanes of the auxiliary roads. Meanwhile, public transport buses and heavy load trucks must travel through the two lanes that will be enabled on the main roads.
15 new stations for the Metropolitan
The execution of the work in the central bere of the University Avenue, will begin with the earth movement to subsequently build the concrete pavement of the new North Express road, which will have a lane in the direction (4 meters wide each), for the exclusive circulation of Metropolitan Buses, and an overtaking lane in each station, thus allowing the continuous flow of these buses with direct routes.
The megaobra via express north will be extended by 8.7 km and contemplates the construction of 15 stations of the Metropolitan, along the section between Jose Granda Avenue in San Martin de Porres and Metropolitan Avenue in Comas.
In addition, four road exchanges will be built on Jose Granda, Tomas Valle, Naranjal and Carlos Izaguirre avenues, in order to relieve the vehicular congestion of Lima Norte, a sector of the capital that expects a significant savings in travel times.
On the other hand, fifteen calm intersections will be installed with priority for public transport and eight traffic light pedestrian crossings will be built with universal accessibility devices.
This megaobra is emerging as a great improvement to the current design of the congested University Avenue and promises to transform urban mobility for the future of Lima.
