The Municipality of Barranco enabled a two-way lane on the green Coastfrom the esplanade of Chorrillos to the height of the Cala restaurant, to alleviate the traffic chaos generated by the temporary closure of the section between Agua Dulce beach and the Descent of Armendariz.
This measure was adopted due to restoration work on a historic bridge damaged by the impact of a cargo truck the previous Saturday.
According to the Barranco citizen security manager, Miguel Navarretethe opening of this two-way lane will be crucial to decongest the main streets of Chorrillos and Barranco, which were saturated with traffic.
The District Municipality It was also forced to implement a detour plan to mitigate the impact on vehicular traffic in the district.
The closing of the green Coast It was initially extended for four days, but due to the severity of the structural damage, this period was extended to 14, according to Emape.
The closure has affected private vehicles, taxis and public transportation, forcing them to find alternative routes and face possible economic losses.
Navarrete explained that the measure seeks to avoid more congestion in Ravine, which does not have sufficient capacity in its avenues and streets for the volume of traffic diverted from the Costa Verde. The deputy mayor of Chorrillos mentioned that they will receive about 40 thousand cars during peak hours, so this situation is considered very complicated for the district’s road infrastructure.
Through a statement, the Municipality of Barranco reported that the truck driver was arrested and will face legal proceedings for the damage caused to the historic bridge known as the Baths Descent.
