The Lima Metro Line 4 branch, which includes a section in Callao, is 64% complete, according to figures from the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC). This section includes 8 stations, including Quilca, which will have an underground connection to the new Jorge Chávez Airport terminal, although the start date for this work is still pending an addendum that will allow its execution. Construction is expected to begin in three years. On the other hand, Metro Line 2 and the accesses to the airport continue to be developed, generating intrigue among citizens due to the long delivery times. Despite the progress in some works, the deadlines remain uncertain, which has caused some discontent among the population. As for the future Santa Rosa expressway, a project in charge of the French government, its construction is expected to begin in the middle of next year, with an estimated completion date for the end of 2027. This road will allow better communication between the Jorge Chávez airport and vehicles coming from the Costa Verde, facilitating access to the new terminal. However, the construction of the Santa Rosa bridge, which will be the main entrance and exit to the airport, could extend beyond the agreed date. WORKS AT GAMBETA STATION President Dina Boluarte recently inspected the Gambeta station, where the works are 81% complete. Despite these partial advances, the delay in road infrastructure is evident. Compared to countries such as Chile, which plans to inaugurate a seventh metro line by 2028, with the fastest train in South America, the progress in road infrastructure in Lima is evident and seems to be behind the expectations of neighboring countries.
