Overview of Avenida Grau Closure
The Municipality of Lima has announced a total closure of Avenida Grau, affecting traffic from the main thoroughfare Avenida Aviación to Jirón Junín. This closure, set to begin on September 15, is part of the ongoing construction of the new Vía Expresa Grau, aimed at improving urban mobility in the area.
Purpose of the Closure
The initiative is focused on enhancing the infrastructure, which will ultimately lead to better traffic flow and reduced congestion in this heavily-trafficked corridor. As construction progresses, residents and commuters are encouraged to adopt alternative routes to mitigate any potential travel disruptions.
Details of the Diversion Plan
To facilitate smooth traffic during the construction phase, the municipality has outlined a detailed diversion plan. Here are the key points:
Main Diversion Routes
- For vehicles heading south: Take Avenida Aviación and connect with alternate routes via Jirón Junín.
- For those traveling north: Use Avenida Nicolás Arriola, which connects back to Avenida Grau at strategic points.
Supporting Public Transport
The city has made provisions to adjust public transport routes to accommodate the closure. Buses that typically run along Avenida Grau will instead take the alternative routes outlined, ensuring minimal disruption to daily commuters.
Community Impact and Communication
The municipality is committed to keeping the public informed throughout the construction period. Regular updates will be provided via local news channels and social media platforms to ensure that residents are aware of significant changes and progress reports.
Conclusion
While the closure of Avenida Grau may present initial challenges, the long-term benefits anticipated from the new Vía Expresa Grau promise to greatly enhance the traffic dynamics of Lima. Residents are advised to plan their journeys in advance, utilizing the designated alternative routes during the construction period.
