Lima Opens Las Torres Bypass on Daytime Trial to Ease Ramiro Prialé Traffic

Service runs 5 a.m.–6 p.m. in the Lima-to-Chosica direction during the pre‑operational phase.

Overview

  • The marcha blanca began January 9 with two lanes open west to east, allowing private cars, public buses and heavy trucks only within daytime hours.
  • LED lighting installation remains pending for one to two weeks, after which continuous operation is planned in the Lima‑to‑Chosica direction.
  • Traffic from Chosica to Lima awaits relocation of a natural gas interference expected in about 20 days, with full bi‑directional opening projected for February.
  • EMAPE reports 95% completion of the third‑level viaduct built in roughly seven months using prefabricated elements, with six total lanes and beams up to 40 meters.
  • Municipal estimates forecast travel times dropping from about 150 minutes to roughly 45 minutes for more than 2 million residents, as ATU readies stops and tests express services with Etul4, Vargasant, Los Loritos and Nueva Era.
