Lima Starts Night Repairs on Javier Prado Este, Closing La Molina–Huarochirí Stretch at 9 P.M.

Nightly detours run 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. with a contraflow on the opposite carriageway to keep traffic moving.

Overview

  • EMAPE began the first stage on November 12 by closing the west‑to‑east carriageway between Avenida La Molina and Óvalo Huarochirí, covering 2.1 kilometers.
  • Traffic is redirected onto a temporary two‑way flow on the opposite side each night to maintain public and private transport.
  • The works use milling, a tack coat, and a hot asphalt overlay to rehabilitate the surface and improve road safety.
  • Crews aim to repair fissures, potholes, and deformations while improving links to nearby avenues and access to high‑demand points such as Metro de La Molina and Estadio Monumental.
  • The municipality expects this stage to finish by late November, after which additional segments of the 12.7‑kilometer corridor will be rehabilitated across Javier Prado.
