Rutas de Lima Resumes Panamericana Sur Tolls After Appeal as Lima City Hall Vows Action

The company argues its appeal pauses the ruling under Article 22, a claim the city disputes.

Overview

  • Rutas de Lima says toll collection restarted at 00:00 on November 2 at the Villa and Punta Negra booths on the Panamericana Sur.
  • The concessionaire contends that its appeal suspends the lower-court order’s effects until a higher court issues a definitive decision.
  • A Pachacámac court had ordered an immediate halt to those tolls on October 29 after a habeas corpus filed by Santa María del Mar alleging impairment of free transit.
  • The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima rejects the restart, says the appeal was presented but not admitted, plans legal action, and reports coordinating public-security support with the Presidency.
  • The company says it initially halted charges for worker and user safety and warns authorities not to incite tension, alleging a pattern of harassment against the concession and its investors.
