Overview
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo defended the works after a Conasec session, calling them necessary and saying most residents will benefit despite temporary disruption.
- The municipality specified a viaduct segment along Javier Prado between Nicolás Arriola and Arenales as part of its traffic improvement program.
- Residents in San Isidro, Jesús María and Lince have mobilized with “No a los viaductos” banners and are preparing legal action against Invermet.
- Opponents argue the project will not fix congestion and will worsen noise, pollution, loss of green areas and property values, citing La Molina as a cautionary example.
- Reggiardo also requested authorization to use a US$180 million World Bank donation for smart traffic signals at 500 intersections to modernize control systems.
