28 de Julio Avenue (Spanish: Avenida 28 de Julio) is one of the main avenues in the city of Lima, Peru. It extends from west to east in the districts of Jesús María, Lima and La Victoria along 31 blocks.

The avenue's length allows it to pass through several landmarks, some present to the date and some gone, such as the lagoon next to the monument to Jorge Chávez, the latter built in 1937.[1]

A bypass was built in 2016 which replaced the Proyecto Río Verde, a plan to redesign the area of the city surrounding Rímac river, which was met with controversy.[2]
