Overview
- The Ministry of Transport and Communications closed the affected section at km 3.5 after a collapse left a large hole that posed a serious risk to drivers.
- Provías Nacional, working with the Ventanilla municipality, deployed technical teams and cordoned off the area with safety tape while evaluations and preliminary work proceed.
- Traffic now moves only north to south on Gambetta, and vehicles traveling south to north are being detoured via Avenida Haya de la Torre, causing slowdowns observed on site.
- Officials say the collapse stemmed from a weakened slope caused by an external excavation at the base of the road.
- Provías Nacional launched Public Tender No. 002-2025/20.1 for a definitive 560‑meter rehabilitation, with proposals submitted on Nov. 8 and the award expected in mid‑November.
