Anillo Vial Periférico: Transforming Lima's Urban Road Infrastructure

hold

The Project, which involves the construction, operation, and maintenance of a 34.8 km long, six lane, toll expressway in Lima, Peru, will also include toll-free side roads for local traffic, 4.22 km of double and triple lane tunnels, 11 viaducts, 16 underpasses, 18 overpasses, pedestrian crossings every 500 m, 3 main toll stations, and two lateral toll stations. Once in operation, it is expected to (i) significantly reduce traffic congestion in Lima by diverting heavy vehicles from the oversaturated existing grid, (ii) improve the connectivity between the airport, port, and other national highways, and (iii) benefit over 4.5 million people.For construction purposes, the Project has been divided in three stretches (“Tramo”): Tramo 1, which is 8.7 km long, extends through El Callao, San Martín de Porres, and Los Olivos, from the Ovalo de las 200 miles to the Panamericana Norte, at the Ovalo del Naranjal; Tramo 2, with a total length of 15.1 km, that stretches through Independencia, Comas, San Juan de Lurigancho, and Lurigancho-Chosica to the Avenida Ramiro Prialé; and Tramo 3, a 11.0 km section, that extends through El Agustino, Santa Anita, La Molina, and San Luis to Avenida Rosa Toro, 70 m past Avenida Circunvalación.Each Tramo will progress through three phases: pre-construction, expected to take 1.5 to 5 years, will focus on securing rights of way, including land acquisition and relocation; construction, foreseen to last 7 years, will comprise both of greenfield and brownfield works; and operation that will extend for a minimum of 30 years.The Project will involve the acquisition of 653 governmental and 3,487 privately-owned properties and require the resettlement of approximately 3,399 social units (38 in Tramo 1; 3,216 in Tramo 2; and 145 in Tramo 3).
