Ayesa will design a 9-mile section of Lima’s $3.4 billion Ring Road project, which aims to connect 11 districts and improve transportation efficiency, creating over 70,000 jobs in the process.
Ayesa, a Spanish engineering firm, has been selected to design a significant 9-mile portion of Lima’s $3.4 billion Ring Road project. This initiative is led by a consortium comprising Sacyr, Acciona, and Cintra, the toll road division of Ferrovial. The overall project spans 22 miles and is aimed at enhancing transportation efficiency within the region.
In its role, Ayesa will create engineering designs that include three lanes in each direction, two twin tunnels, various structural elements, retaining walls, trunk and side toll stations, and side roads to improve local traffic management. Mariluz Ramírez, director of Ayesa’s transport division for Latin America, highlighted the scope of work in a recent press release.
Over a period of 35 months, Ayesa will also conduct detailed feasibility studies and design cost assessments, ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards. The project, locally referred to as Anillo Vial Periférico, is designed to encircle and connect 11 districts, including the port city of Callao, fostering improved movement of goods and enhancing connectivity for residents.
Peru’s Transportation Minister, Raúl Pérez-Reyes, emphasized the project’s significance for the city, stating its potential to facilitate efficient transport and connectivity. The design will incorporate building information management systems, asset management, and intelligent transport solutions to enhance safe infrastructure management.
The consortium anticipates that the project will generate over 70,000 jobs, with 5,000 positions directly related to construction, thereby having a positive impact on around 4.5 million residents.
The Ring Road project in Lima represents a monumental effort to enhance urban mobility and connectivity across the city. With Ayesa at the helm of engineering design for a crucial section, the initiative is set to incorporate cutting-edge technology and infrastructure management systems. The anticipated economic impact, both in job creation and improved transportation, underscores the project’s importance for the region.
