Court Orders Villa and Punta Negra Toll Suspension as Rutas de Lima Halts Other Collections on Panamericana Sur

City officials say EMAPE is prepared to assume maintenance if the operator fails to meet its obligations.

Overview

  • A Pachacamac preparatory court granted in part a habeas corpus and ordered Rutas de Lima to stop charging at the Villa and Punta Negra booths.
  • Rutas de Lima said it has ceased toll collection on the Panamericana Sur and claimed the measures deprive it of 100% of its remaining toll revenue.
  • The Municipality of Lima reported that stoppages at Huaylas, Arica and San Pedro were unilateral moves by the concessionaire rather than court-ordered actions.
  • Mayor Renzo Reggiardo verified on site that collections ended at the two ordered booths and affirmed the concession remains in force with ongoing maintenance obligations.
  • In a separate case, an appeals court rejected the prosecutor’s request to suspend Lima Expresa tolls, so Línea Amarilla charges continue.
