Rutas de Lima to Resume Tolls on Panamericana Sur After Appeal Halts Court Order

The company says the appeal suspends the ruling under Article 22 of the Constitutional Procedural Code, allowing collections to continue until a definitive decision.

Overview

  • Collections restart at 00:00 on Sunday, November 2, at the Villa El Salvador and Punta Negra booths on the southern section of the highway.
  • Rutas de Lima had paused charges immediately after being notified of the judicial order, citing the safety of workers and users.
  • The company asserts that the appeal freezes the judgment’s effects until it is final, and it noted the Lima municipality has acknowledged the ruling lacks immediate effect.
  • Rutas de Lima urged authorities to avoid actions that could incite agitation at toll stations and alleged a sustained campaign of harassment by municipal and political actors.
  • The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima is reported to be evaluating a temporary takeover of the route, and the company and its shareholders said they reserve all legal rights against state measures.
