Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications and Sociedad Concesionaria Anillo Vial, comprising Ferrovial-Cintra, Sacyr and ACCIONA, have signed the contract to kickstart the construction of an urban highway of nearly 35 km that will connect 11 districts in Metropolitan Lima and one in Callao.
Concession term for this project is 30 years and calls for a $3.4 Bn investment, including the contribution of public funding from the Peruvian government. Operation of this road section is contracted under a co-financed P3 scheme.
This project comprises the design, financing, construction, management, and maintenance of a 34.8 km urban toll road. The new route will connect 11 districts of Metropolitan Lima and one of Callao for the benefit of 4.5 million residents. Project scope includes three sections:
- 8.7 km: Ovalo 200 Millas - Panamericana Norte (Ovalo del Naranjal).
- 15.1 km: Panamericana Norte - Av. Ramiro Priale.
- 11.0 km: Av. Ramiro Priale - Av. Circunvalacion (before Av. Rosa Toro).
Project scope spans from the Ovalo 200 Millas in Callao and to the intersection of Av. Del Aire with Av. Rosa Toro, in San Luis.
This infrastructure will contribute to transforming the Peruvian capital and is integrated into road infrastructure planning at a local, regional, and national level, addressing mobility challenges in the Peruvian capital and nearby areas. It also represents an important step in Peru’s mobility development, and it is expected to significantly improve traffic efficiency and road safety and contribute to the region’s economic development.
The project will have toll-free side roads in both directions along the main road to facilitate connectivity in the city.
It is estimated that this project will generate more than 70,000 jobs (direct and indirect) in its construction stage, 5,000 of which would be directly associated. During its operation, the creation of 20,000 direct and indirect jobs per year is anticipated.
The Peripheral Ring Road will also incorporate the most advanced technology, including Design Information Management (BIM), Asset Management and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) systems, in order to ensure efficient and safe infrastructure management.
