Gambetta Closure Diverts Heavy Trucks as Ancón Sounds Alarm Over Puente Chillón

Ancón warns Puente Chillón faces overload from the reroute, with repairs still unscheduled due to expropriation.

Overview

  • MTC ordered the closure at km 3.5 of Av. Néstor Gambetta after a sinkhole reached the central berm, citing safety risks.
  • Heavy cargo vehicles over 6.5 tonnes must detour via Panamericana Norte to Óvalo Naranjal and continue along Av. Canta Callao.
  • Light vehicles and urban transport are routed through Mi Perú via Av. Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, Av. Cusco, Av. De La Revolución and Calle Pavayacu to rejoin Gambetta.
  • Local reports describe congestion on the diversion and poor road conditions in Mi Perú, while initial traffic enforcement presence was limited.
  • MTC Minister Aldo Prieto visited the site and announced continuous monitoring and coordination, as Ventanilla flags seven years of deterioration and Ancón urges inspections and possible limits on Puente Chillón.
