The mayor of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML), Rafael López Aliaga, criticized that in 10 years only five kilometers of Line 2 of the Lima Metro have been built, a work promoted by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) that has in order to unite the districts of Ate and the Callao.
In that sense, the mayor pointed out that the contract signed between the MTC and the consortium in charge of executing the project “smells bad.”
“It smells terrible, it is not normal that it takes 10 years to do five kilometers, you cannot lie to people,” López Aliaga said in the program It’s never too late of RPP.
“This is born from a poorly made contract, with obsolete technology, that technology is not used on earth,” he added.
He also said that during the construction of the work they bankrupted “five thousand businesses on the Central Highway, on the Ayllón road, and harmed millions of Peruvians in man hours” to “give us, following 10 years, a ridiculous five kilometers.”
“That is very poorly conceived, it is extremely poorly planned,” he said.
To this, he added, that for the construction of station 13 of the Line 2 of the Lima Metrowhich “is the intersection of Paseo Colón and Wilson” cannot “be closed.”
“There always has to be two ways and the dealership wanted to close it for two, seven or 20 years, people when they close something they no longer open it.”
For this reason, he assured that “another construction system” should be used for Lines 3 and 4, one that “respects Lima and businesses.”
“You can’t make them go bankrupt because they have a construction method that is no longer used in the world. The galleries for the stations are made underground, they do not have to interrupt traffic for even a minute. They have already done irreparable damage to Lima,” she concluded.
It should be noted that, in January of this year, the Ministry of Transport and Communicationsthe Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU) and the capital commune reached an agreement to reduce deadlines and accelerate the works of Line 2.
At this meeting it was also possible to secure authorization for the start of work on the Central Station.
“As a consequence of these agreements, the company has to request municipal permits and the mayor’s office has agreed to approve them. We are looking at how to shorten the deadlines for the works, to do so it will be proposed that the company, instead of working in a single shift, do so in three shifts,” said the head of the MTC, Raúl Pérez-Reyes, at that time.
While last December, at the beginning of the white march of Line 2 of the Lima Metro, he assured that in 2028 the 27 stations planned for this work will be completed.
“The work is already being done, a good part of the interference has been resolved, so now what remains, except for station 13, which has just begun to be built, the rest of the stations They are already in the construction process and then they will be implemented with railway equipment,” he said.
