Overview

  • The MTC detailed a 19.4 km twin-tube tunnel between La Molina and Surco costed at S/3,607 million using the NATM method, with 60 months of execution and the next step being the technical dossier.
  • EMAPE will operate and maintain the civil works, with six planned access points across La Molina and Surco, and authorities say the project aims to ease severe congestion in Lima’s east.
  • The PCM confirmed a unified mesa at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 9 with the Executive, Congress and transport unions, plus a higher‑level table on Oct. 14, as the transport minister emphasized the fight against organized crime.
  • Transport stoppages were lifted after an act of agreements, yet companies such as Santa Catalina, La Roma and Chama remain partially suspended following extortion attacks; prosecutors report 118 victims since Aug. 2024, including 65 deaths and 53 injuries.
  • The Chamber of Commerce of Lima estimates losses near S/100 million from recent paralyses, with Gamarra and Mesa Redonda reporting S/3 million and S/15 million respectively, while the Unión de Gremios urges concrete security proposals by Oct. 14 and immediate actions; separately, CUNARC began an indefinite blockade in Cajamarca over long‑delayed road works.
