Overview
- The municipality, through Invermet, says the three elevated viaducts are contracted and will proceed, with a budget estimated at S/540–S/550 million and financing still unclear.
- ATU chief David Hernández confirms the agency was consulted, issued a technical opinion, and insists the works must not conflict with the underground Metro Line 4.
- ATU proposes using the underside of the structures for central stations and segregated lanes for the Corredor Rojo, a light BRT concept welcomed by the corridor’s concessionaires.
- Urbanists and civic groups argue the project lacks traffic, environmental and financial studies, falls outside the Lima 2040 and ATU mobility plans, and could remove mature trees and worsen pollution.
- Engineers question demand assumptions, citing Invermet figures under 40,000 vehicles a day compared with the 50,000–70,000 range they say is needed, as residents from several districts escalate opposition.
