Callao, August 14th, 2024
As of December 18th, 2024, the entrance and exit to the new Jorge Chávez International Airport will be exclusively through Morales Duárez Avenue, leaving behind the access through Faucett Avenue.
This was stated in the Informativo Ya lo Chávez- Noticias del Jorge Chávez published by Lima Airport Partners (LAP), the Peruvian Airport operating company.
Temporary accesses
It also indicates that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) has installed two temporary bridges at the intersection of Morales Duarez and Aeropuerto Avenues.
These bridges will connect with the new internal roads being built by Lima Airport Partners (LAP).
He said that in the next few months the asphalting and urbanization work will be completed, with an additional investment of more than US$ 7 million.
They will be ready for the start of the air terminal operations.
Key data:
- The infrastructure includes more than one kilometer of additional roads.
- The MTC will put the Santa Rosa Bridge into operation in 2027, establishing the definitive access route to the airport.
- More than US$7 million has been earmarked for the construction, operation and maintenance of the roads, which implies an addendum to the contract.
Connection with public transportation
LAP and the Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU) are working on a plan to connect the new airport with the city by public transport buses. Between 5 and 6 new routes are planned. They will include connections with the corridors, the Metropolitano, and Lines 1 and 2 of the Lima and Callao Metro.
These routes will cover the areas of Callao, South Lima and North Lima.
LAP will sign an agreement with the ATU and the selected operators to guarantee the service of these new routes.
