The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima has completed a major overhaul of Alipio Ponce Avenue, a key thoroughfare connecting the districts of Chorrillos and San Juan de Miraflores. The renovation, which cost approximately $2.2 million, aims to improve traffic flow and pedestrian access in southern Lima, benefiting more than one million residents who use the road daily.
Lima’s Mayor, Renzo Reggiardo, delivered the completed project, emphasizing that the rehabilitation will reclaim public spaces and streamline traffic along a vital city artery. The project is intended to strengthen connectivity and optimize transportation along this urban corridor.
