The contracts for sections of the ringroad around Peru’s capital Lima will be awarded at the end of March 2024. The project is now costing up to US$3.4 billion, according to ProInversion.

The 35km project is intended to address Lima’s chronic traffic congestion. The Lima Peripheral Road Ring is also known as the Lima Anillo Vial Periférico.

The project is being carried out in three stages and its cost has increased considerably since it was first conceived. Featuring a design speed of 80km/h, the route will have 35 overpasses, 17 interchanges and two tunnels.

In addition to improving traffic flow in the city, the new ringroad will also improve journeys for heavy traffic to and from the city’s important port area. The project is being managed by Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC).
