Well it looks like we may see more construction in our part of the country. With the four lane highway going from Boquete to David under construction, the Nation has put out a tender for the roadwork from David to Santiago that we were hearing about last year. This in from Prensa
The Ministry of Public Works has put out to tender the project entitled: “Design and Construction for the expansion to four lanes of the Panamamericana Highway from Santiago to David”
Panamanian media report that the date of the solicitation has not yet been defined and there are no cost estimates, an area which the Ministry of Public Works is currently working on.
The funding model has also not yet been defined but could eventually be a “turnkey” project, which has often been used by the Martinelli administration.
