The first of the 42, six-car driverless trainsets, that will be deployed on Line 2 of the Lima Metro, left the port of Salerno in Italy this week. Each 17.6m car, weighing 35 tonnes, was loaded by the Hapag-Lloyd shipping company on 16 August and will take 29 days to reach Lima, Peru. The Nuevo Metro de Lima consortium was granted the US$9bn Line 2 design, finance, build, operate and maintain concession in March 2014.

Los primeros 2,290 metros del túnel de la Línea 2 del Metro de Lima, desde el mercado de Santa Anita hasta la Vía de Evitamiento, ya fueron concluidos y se espera que en setiembre próximo esté listo el primer tramo de la obra, es decir, cinco kilómetros, informó la empresa concesionaria.

State promoter of private investment, ProInversión, has confirmed that the pre-investment feasibility study for line 3 of the Lima Metro will be ready by the end of March or start of April, which means the project is on schedule to the deadline to finalise the route and define the investment necessary.

Eleonora Silva, CAF Director in Peru, announced that the Latin American development bank is ready to offer in excess of $US 600 million towards the construction of Lima’s $5.7 billion Line 2 project.
