| Abstract: |
> Vía Parque Rímac is the name given to the new expressway concession that will help to speed up the congested traffic of Lima, the capital of Peru. The road follows the course of the Rímac River, opposite the historic centre of the city and has a total length of about 9 km, with an underground section of almost 2 km, solved with a cut and cover tunnel. This road will be one of the main transport links of the city, connecting eleven districts and shortening travelling times to El Callao, where the port and the Jorge Chávez international airport are located. Works are scheduled to be completed in 2015, with an investment of around $700 million. This article describes the cut and cover tunnel and the viaducts on the stretch, with their main singularities. Reference is made to the construction process adopted and it’s also analysed the methodology used against the seismic actions, according AASHTO codes. |
