Overview
- Judicial orders have blocked toll collection at Villa and Punta Negra since Nov. 5, eliminating nearly all of the concessionaire’s income.
- Rutas de Lima says its cash will be exhausted by Dec. 2, noting the operation needs over 600 workers and about S/25 million per month.
- Services flagged at risk include waste removal, pavement maintenance, emergency response, traffic systems and the Benavides tunnel control center.
- The company reports unanswered requests for a technical handover with Lima’s municipality and has asked the MTC and PCM to coordinate a safe transfer.
- Lima’s mayor pledges to cover basic services without charging tolls, while legal experts say suspending or transferring the concession requires a formal process.
