The president of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, highlighted the importance of the progress in the construction of the tunnel of Line 3 of the Panama Metro, pointing out that without this work it would not be possible to move the large volume of passengers from West Panama to the city.

The president also criticized the delay in the execution of the project and the decision to modify the original plan that contemplated the use of the Fourth Bridge over the Panama Canal for the passage of the subway. “If that project had not been disassembled by inventing the tunnel, we would be finishing Line 3 with the bridge,” he said.

Advance of the Metro Line 3 tunnel

Currently, the construction of the tunnel registers an advance of 15%, reaching a depth of 50 meters below sea level. This structure will allow the subway to cross the Panama Canal and connect the city with West Panama, benefiting thousands of users daily.
