Peru Says Lima–Callao Metro Line 2 Is 80% Complete

Officials aim to bring the opening forward pending resolution of a remaining constraint.

Overview

  • The Transport Ministry reports overall physical progress at 80.66% as of March 9, with simultaneous work fronts across the project.
  • Staged delivery stands with Stage 1-A in service, Stage 1-B at 89.28%, Stage 2 at 65.91%, and the Line 4 branch above 53%.
  • Tunnel-boring continues with Delia at 67% on the main Line 2 tunnel advancing toward Óscar Benavides, then Carmen de la Legua and ending at Insurgentes, while Micaela is 53% along the Line 4 spur.
  • The megaproject is executed with the Sociedad Concesionaria Metro de Lima Línea 2, and authorities say acceleration efforts remain subject to a stated limiting factor.
  • Once fully operational, the system is projected to carry about 660,000 riders daily at launch and up to 1.2 million by 2030, connecting 10 districts and cutting the Ate–Callao trip to roughly 45 minutes.
