Lima Lifts Tolls on Panamericana Norte and Sur for New Year Travel

City officials assigned EMAPE to ensure maintenance, monitoring, emergency coverage during the surge.

Overview

  • The Municipality of Lima assumed operational control of the toll plazas this month, ending Rutas de Lima’s administration.
  • Toll booths not charging fares include Chillón on the Norte and Huaylas, Villa, Arica, San Pedro, Punta Negra and Quebrada Seca on the Sur.
  • The waiver cuts travel costs and is expected to speed trips, with authorities warning of heavier traffic and urging careful driving.
  • Lima’s Metropolitan Council approved an agreement placing EMAPE in charge of operations, routine and periodic maintenance, incident response and monitoring on both corridors.
  • For January 1, a temporary lane reversal on the Panamericana Sur from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. will prioritize returns to the city, supported by police posts, ambulances, tow trucks and Sutran speed controls between km 60 and 128.
