In Peru, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima is expected to approve in August 2013 a US$400 million underground viaduct project, including a 10km double-carriage way road and a 1.5km tunnel under the Cerro Centinela.

The private initiative submitted by Spanish construction firm 980 OHL will connect the La Molina and Miraflores districts.
