Rutas de Lima to Resume Panamericana Sur Tolls After Appeal Despite Lima’s Objection

The company says its appeal halts the court’s suspension order under Article 22 of the Constitutional Procedural Code.

Overview

  • Rutas de Lima announced toll collection will restart at 00:00 on Sunday, November 2, at the Villa and Punta Negra booths on the Panamericana Sur.
  • The firm had halted charges after an October 29 court order mandated immediate suspension and warned of economic sanctions for noncompliance.
  • The concessionaire argues the appeal suspends the ruling’s effects while a higher court decides, calling the decision arbitrary and reserving legal rights.
  • The Lima municipal government rejected the move, asserting the appeal has not been admitted, warning it will pursue legal action, and saying it coordinated public security support.
  • The case stems from years of disputes over the concession; the latest order cited a Constitutional Tribunal precedent on inadequate alternate routes and free transit.
