Las Torres Bypass in Lima Hits 85% Completion as Final Paving Targets Month-End

The 1.4 km, six-lane viaduct is designed to relieve chronic congestion at the Ramiro Prialé–Las Torres junction for commuters in eastern Lima.

Overview

  • Municipal officials say the concrete slab pour is slated to finish next week, with asphalt works on the viaduct and remaining accesses scheduled to wrap by the end of November.
  • All supporting beams are in place, with 53 pillars and two abutments installed, while crews continue safety barriers, signage and public-lighting electrical work.
  • Of the five access points, two have been asphalted and a third is under excavation and pavement removal, according to the latest update from MML and EMAPE.
  • Authorities expect the project to shorten travel times and improve connectivity for districts such as Huachipa, Carapongo, Chaclacayo and Lurigancho‑Chosica once it opens.
  • Local reports describe traffic disruptions and noise during construction, and transport specialists urge stronger pedestrian protections and post‑opening traffic management.
