Peru's capital will have a new freeway connecting Lima and Callao

Isabel Guerra
The Municipality of Lima and the Brazilian company OAS S.R.L. signed a contract to carry on with the works for the "Yellow Line," which will be the new Lima freeway, connecting Lima Downtown with the Eastern side of Callao, following the Rimac River.
The project includes a 3km tunnel that will run under the river, and will have earthquake-resistant designed structures.
The document signed establishes that the Brazilian construction company will finish the project in five years, with an estimated investment of US$ 600 million.
"This is the first time such a contract has been signed, with a private company taking the whole risk in the construction of a highly costly project, and the first time a municipality put no money in such a project," said Castañeda Lossio.
Castañeda said that the shortage in finance made impossible for the municipality to carry on this work.
Lima's Mayor added that the "Yellow Line," going from Huascar Bridge (downtown Lima) to Universitaria Avenue will include works at Via de Evitamiento.

This sounds like a worthwhile project,for sure.
The Brazilian company will spend $600M...but not for free...I imagine there will be a toll system applied to this road...so it won't actually be a "freeway", but indeed a "tollway".
Does anyone else think this?

There is a video in el comercio or something. It really looks awesome. And yes there will be a toll to use the road. And it is called a freeway because it is free of traffic lights.Add your comment
