Court Halts Two Lima Tolls; Rutas de Lima Stops Charging Across Panamericana Sur Stretch

City officials say the concession remains in force, with EMAPE prepared to handle maintenance.

Overview

  • An order from the Pachacamac preliminary investigation court suspended toll collection at the Villa and Punta Negra booths on the Panamericana Sur.
  • Rutas de Lima said it complied and suspended charging on the southern stretch, asserting the ruling strips the company of 100% of its remaining toll revenue.
  • Local reports indicate the Huaylas, Arica and San Pedro booths also ceased charging without a court mandate, which a municipal source described as a unilateral company decision.
  • Mayor Renzo Reggiardo verified compliance at the named booths and said EMAPE could temporarily take over road upkeep if the concessionaire fails to meet its obligations, while the contract remains active.
  • In a separate case, an appeals court rejected the prosecutor’s bid to halt Lima Expresa (Línea Amarilla) tolls, which continue to be collected.
