In this exclusive and unprecedented flight, we fly over Avenida Universitaria to show you the real progress of the Vía Expresa Norte (North Expressway), a crucial mega-project for mass transit in Lima. From the José Granda Roundabout to the connection with the Metropolitano bus rapid transit system, we analyze the engineering details behind the new viaducts, the use of reinforced earth wall technology (concrete flakes), and the deployment of heavy machinery such as rollers and graders. Join me on this citizen oversight tour where we decipher the technical challenges, the urban impact, and the importance of professional criteria in the construction of our city.

00:27 - Exclusive Views: The flight begins at the José Granda Roundabout with a panoramic view of San Martín de Porres and North Lima.
01:28 - The Metropolitano Corridor: An explanation of the project that will transform Avenida Universitaria into an exclusive lane for mass transit.
02:44 - Pavement Engineering: Analysis of rigid pavement (reinforced concrete) and road design criteria (superelevation and radii).
03:25 - Interesting Fact: What are the elevated water tanks we see in the area for?
04:54 - Tomás Valle and Angélica Gamarra Axis: Aerial tour of the main arteries connecting to Jorge Chávez Airport.
10:10 - Detailed Construction Supervision: We lower the drone to ground level to inspect the construction of the viaducts and piles.
11:05 - Reinforced Earth Walls: What are the concrete "scales" and how do they work with geogrids to retain the soil?
12:02 - Machinery Analysis: Technical details of the Hamm roller compactor and the dynamic compaction system.
15:19 - Support Structures: Explanation of the viaduct's intermediate supports and the importance of asphalt waterproofing.
17:19 - Engineering Accessories: The versatility of the CAT backhoe with pallet forks on the construction site.
19:18 - Compaction and Soils: Difference between smooth drum compactors (SC) and manual compactors in confined spaces.
21:51 - The Motor Grader in Action: Spreading material with controlled particle size and moisture content.
24:02 - History and Urban Planning: The renovation of the José Granda School and the legacy of the civil engineer for whom it is named.
27:24 - Final Reflection: The future of mobility in Lima and the role of competent professionals.

COMO ES NATURAL ME LLAMA LA ATENCIÓN EL DISEÑO CURIOSO DE LAS PISTAS PARA EL METROPOLITANO POR LA FORMA IREGULAR DE SU ANCHO; EN FIN HAY QUE CONFIAR EN LOS INGENIEROS Y DISEÑADORES CUYA PLANIFICACIÓN NO DEBE SER FÁCIL...!!!
